Old versus new. I think they are both kind of neat.

The playoffs are this weekend. The action should be pretty good.

Our little community, Walker, is in the process of trying to become a fire district, which means we would receive funding from a property tax, instead of being a volunteer department getting by mostly on donations and fundraisers.

The entire saga has been quite contentious in a way that surprises me. Yesterday may have been the culmination of the crazy that surrounds the issue. One member of the community is vehemently against the money spent by the board of the fire department on the district effort. So to protest she stood up in the middle of our monthly board meeting and lit a fistful of money on fire. Naturally some people were offended but I was in hysterics, on the inside.

We had a sheriff there to speak about escape routes and procedure during a fire. When the woman in question started to light up the cash her older brother went over and physically stopped her. The sheriff looked like he was going to intercede but someone in the audience said "they are brother and sister, let them work it out" and the sheriff did!

Only in rural Arizona.

When we first bought our cabin up here I felt that this place was a lot like Cicely, AK from my favorite TV show, Northern Exposure. The burning money incident really supports the idea.

I am not a motorcycle rider nor do I think I ever will be but I can appreciate a beautiful machine. This is a Sunbeam S7 Deluxe from around 1950.

I have always respected what Raphael Palmeiro has been able to do on the field. I have thought his numbers have been hall worthy without question.

If he in fact cheated he may have a tough time getting in to the hall. I have heard it said that steroids is worth 10% bigger numbers. I have no idea if that is exactly right but something like that seems reasonable.

That probably means he should still get in but I don't have a lot of conviction with this.
