2011 Tucson Fire Fighters Chili Cook-off

I was out of town for this great event last year; much to my disappointment.
I love seeing all the creativity that goes into the booths; not to mention the costume worn by the fire fighters.  This is really a great charitable event.

I’ll be there tomorrow taking some more photos and video of this years event.

My Dad and go when ever we can.  He loves the chili, (so do I) but he really loves the chili.

Here’s all the pertinent details.  You can read all about it at Chili Cook-off.

Hope to see you there tomorrow.

Some Fun from 2009

This is the time of year when it is good to be a desert rat.  Not to be confused with a Pack Rat.

• DESERT RAT (noun)
The noun DESERT RAT has 1 sense:

1. any of various leaping rodents of desert regions of North America and Mexico; largest members of the family Heteromyidae

So that’s the Etymological meaning.

Here’s the the local variation:

• DESERT RAT (noun)
The noun DESERT RAT has 1 sense:

1. any person who lives through a summer in Tucson and begins leaping like a rodents of the desert when the temperatures drop below 100 for the winter.

It is a good time to be a Rat

We made it through the hot summer, granted at 91 degrees for a Saturday afternoon in October (at 5pm no less) it is still pretty hot.

Desert Rat Resting - The white powder, Ants, they like it cooler too.
