maezee @maezee (41985) • United States 17 Mar 21

This park is what I have been calling the "part two" of the Saguaro National Park, it's located on the east side of Tucson and south of the popular Sabino Canyon. This one is said to be less busy and less popular than the other....

My old car is 16 years old. And the transmission is starting to go. So after contemplating what kind of car would be good enough to replace her.. I decided on a Hyundai Tucson. Only it had to be blue and have a moon roof. I found...

Okay, who knows what this lizard is?

Rohvannyn Shaw @Rohvannyn (3098) • United States 23 Sep 16

This was a pretty big one who was hanging out on our acacia tree. I love the colors and the spiny scales. I live in Arizona but I don't often see guys (or gals) like this. The lizard measured maybe eight inches long, possibly a...

My ride in a firetruck

Rohvannyn Shaw @Rohvannyn (3098) • United States 1 Jul 16

When it rains in Tucson, it rains HARD. I had gone out to get groceries, hoping to beat the thunderstorm we saw coming. I figured if I timed it right, I could make it home just before the better part of the rain. If worst came...

Rohvannyn Shaw @Rohvannyn (3098) • United States 26 Feb 16

At work the other day, they were showing a live broadcast of the Tucson Rodeo Days parade, which is the largest non mechanized parade in the country. I had no idea so many people not only owned teams of draft horses or mules, but...

Hugged at the grocery store... again

Rohvannyn Shaw @Rohvannyn (3098) • United States 30 Jan 16

Time was, I hated hugs, and I'd shy away from all of them. At this point, after a lot of work, I'm fine with them. I've said I live in a friendly town but this is proof. Yesterday I was out shopping and waiting at the deli...

Raining cats and dogs in Southern Arizona

Rohvannyn Shaw @Rohvannyn (3098) • United States 7 Jan 16

I haven't seen it rain this hard since last Monsoon. It's rained a few times in the past weeks but not this much. The streets are starting to be awash as the storm drains fill, and some folks go to fast and put a huge white...

Great Speech, Obama!

ParaTed2k @ParaTed2k (22940) • Sheboygan, Wisconsin 12 Jan 11

It was more of a eulogy than a political speech, exactly what was needed! I liked that he made the victims and heroes in this senseless violence the centerpiece. These were the words that needed to be said today... "The...

Should Sarah Palin be blamed and reprimanded for Gabrielle Giffords' shooting?

nickventere @nickventere (1420) • Zambia 9 Jan 11

Last year, about March, Sarah Palin came up with a very graphic image with cross hairs in her campaign to oust the Democratic representatives that helped pass the health bill in the House. Less than a year after her despicable...
