Yesterday I went to a Art Festival in downtown Phoenix with my friend Amy. We rode our bicycles from her home to the festival, met some of her friends who were painting at the festival, and wandered around the numerous booths full of unique and fun wares being sold by their makers. On the way back I went off a curb and lifted up on the front of the bike a bit so I would have a smoother landing off…

Hillary Clinton’s concession speech was excellent. She gives me hope.
While I am attempting to find the positive things about the coming Trump presidency I am also talking with others and trying to find ways to help institutions likely impacted by his rhetoric leading up to his election. Which happened because voter turnout by Democrats was lower than ever. They are to blame more than Trump supporters even though I blame his supporters too. NOTE: If you read Trump’s goals for his first 100 days in office, some of them sound…
We’ve all had over a day to let the news soak in and either give up for a while, or get up and begin moving forward again. This is not going to be a fun four years, but at least we can all be determined to not let it ruin our lives even though it may do that if Trump does any of the crazy shit he talked about during the lead up to his “win”. Once again the popular…

Comfortable motorcycle riding temperature is back and it’s been glorious. Saturday morning a friend and I rode up to Bartlett Lake north of Phoenix and then had some breakfast at “Local Johnny’s” in Cave Creek before riding back into town. Please do not text and drive!
I saw this online this morning and it sums it up so well. The election is close and I still cannot understand your support for Trump. I’ve heard your arguments, and I cannot understand them. My site is not a democracy and I can do whatever I want here. “Bill Clinton cheats on his wife. Impeach him. Trump proudly brags about sexual assault (and has cheated on his wives). Elect him. Hillary oversaw the department of state while 4…
This past weekend I was invited to hike into the Havasupai Falls area with a group of 30 people. I had been wanting to do this hike for years and thanks to a fantastic friend I was able to go. We didn’t all hike down together, but in our group there were four of us. Some shuttled their packs and some of us carried packs and those 10+ miles went by fairly quickly as we all talked, took pictures, and…
Over the past 6 years of living in my home I have made various upgrades to reduce my home’s energy use, but the one that seems to have made the most impact are the window shades installed 2 years ago. I was able to reduce my yearly use by 3,000kWh and that’s even after adding a 220 Hot Tub. The hot tub bumped it up about 500kWh, but it’s worth that little increase. Window shades Nest Thermostat More efficient refrigerator…
