Only in Phoenix

I was just leaving for Echo Coffee yesterday morning, when I noticed three young male deer in my neighbor’s yard. It’s amazing to me to see deer in the desert. This isn’t the first time I’ve seen deer in my neighborhood. Heck, I’ve seen them eating the plants in my front yard. But when I first drove past them, they were grouped perfectly under a tree in the neighbor’s yard, and it was just picture perfect…except I wasn’t immediately ready for a picture. I turned around, and one by one, they ran across the driveway, then into the open area by the house. From there they huddled under a new tree. In one picture, notice a saguaro cactus, prickly pear cactus, an ocotillo cactus, sage brush, and one of the deer nibbling from the tree. For me, it was just an amazing sight.

Chicken Point Sedona: where the cool kids wish they were

Another crappy view. Chicken Point is off the Broken Arrow Trail. I was pretty much toast by the time I got here. Being off the mountain bike since February wasn’t a good idea, but with the 65 mile Tour of White Mountains on October 3 more saddle time is in order.

For those curious, it was only 102 at 3:30p when I started and just 95 when I finished at 6pm. Even though the clouds were threatening, there wasn’t any rain.

Car/brush fire blocks I-17 northbound

I was attempting to head north to Flagstaff to ride my mountain bike in the relative cool, when traffic came to a halt. A small U-Haul had caught fire and pulled well off the freeway. The car fire then started a brush fire that is now burning ong both sides of the northbound lanes near the old Sunset Point rest area.

This was a bit over 2 miles down the trail. Very rugged and steep trail.

New look: command central

This is my new work setup with 2 monitors. Small monitor has Tweetdeck and big monitor has the rest. Phone on the right (because I’m a righty) and Sony iPhone dock on far right. This model dock is new and is 3G friendly.

Saturday we went skiing at Sunrise. My sister Shannon shows her improved form (she took a lesson in the morning).
