This will be my last post on the Tucson subject so feel free to get the last
word in if you find it to be important. I need to focus on more positive
things like the Superbowl. My wife is busy preparing food for all the guys
and girls attending an out-of-doors Superbowl party. I should feel
fortunate that the weather is good enough around here to watch a big screen
outside. It will provide a rare escape from the reality of what is
happening to perfectly honest and hard working people these last few years.
Some the happiest people I know are content with simple things that do not
complicate their lives. Perhaps I can learn a thing or two from them.

On that note; It is time to tap the keg and forget about this nonsense,

Adam

When you stay in $20 per night hotels on Miracle Mile where the street girls
show their goods usually rented by the hour, nothing less can be expected.
