5 Miles High My flight home from Tucson left just before sunset Friday night.  We headed northwest over the Grand Canyon, and passed over the red rock area of southern Utah just at sunset.  As the angle of the sun became more horizontal, the rocks seemed to glow with their own luminescence.  I felt like a rube snapping pictures out the window, while my first class cabinmates read or watched movies in their road warrior nonchalance.  The view was just gorgeous, and I gaped out the window until it was dark. On the second picture at the bottom, check out the little volcanic cones. 1:18:32 PM    Speak to me! []  TrackBack  []

Camping Out in the Tucson La Quinta I flew into Phoenix Wednesday, worked there for the day, then drove to Tucson in the evening. There was not much on the way that was very enticing for dinner other than fast food/truckstop stuff, so I just drove through and stopped at a grocery store on the way to check into my hotel. I came across a special on cooked shrimp and thought it would be a nice, low-fat respite from burritos and burgers.  I didn't notice until I got to my room that they were frozen solid, 30 or so shellfish popsicles.  The instructions said to thaw them overnight, but I wasn't in a mood to wait, so I cranked up the heat on the hvac unit and they were good to go in about 15 minutes. Regretted not having any marshmallows to roast. 7:07:32 AM    Speak to me! []  TrackBack  []
