I started working for my company back on 10 July 1992. Today makes the start of the 33rd year.
One of my first projects was at Naco, working in the area of the soon-to-be-expanded border station. The ruins of the Copper Queen store lie between us and the border, which at that time was a three-strand fallen down barbed wire fence. Sometimes Mexican kids would come visit us. Today a hideous 20-ft-tall iron wall is present there.
In the photo we are recording tent stakes left behind when soldiers camped out next to the store during the Mexican Revolution on the 1910s. I was young, very skinny, and had hair.
Elizabeth, Homer, and Catherine. Jay took the photo.
I cancelled my subscription to the New York Times yesterday. Got tired of the anti-Biden bullshit. The newspaper really, really wants Trump to win so that they will have exciting stories to publish.
I was up in northwestern Arizona for a couple of days. Surveyed a section of road when it was 115 degrees outside. It was miserable. Later as I drove to a town called Baghdad to get something to drink it was 119.
My house is pretty warm. The kittens have a fan blowing air on them if they want. They are growing up fast.
Matt is off walking into the Grand Canyon. 12 miles in and a couple of days later 12 miles out. NO THANKS. My feet would kill me.
