Tough Decision

This guy had to choose between getting a new OHV or a new pair of underwear. Clearly, he made the right choice...

Prostate Cancer

Late last year, I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. Fortunately, it was detected early and had not spread beyond the prostate. This allowed me to undergo a procedure called brachytherapy where radioactive seeds are surgically implanted into the prostate which in turn kills the cancerous cells.

I chose not to post anything about the problem until I had a better idea of what the outcome might be. Yesterday, I learned that my prostate-specific antigen (PSA) had dropped from 9.1 to 1.2 which indicates the seeds are working well. I will continue to be checked every six months, but hopefully, this is the end of it.

As you might imagine, it has been an emotional roller coaster. When you first hear the words "you have cancer", your mind kind of goes blank. It takes a while to process and of course, there is that immediate fear of the unknown. Once I learned more about prostate cancer and my options, I began to feel more comfortable that it could be treated successfully. The key is to catch it early before it metastasizes to other parts of the body.

Crazy Gas Prices

If I drive 15 miles west to Apache Junction, gas is $4.99/gallon. If I drive 18 miles east to Superior, gas is $3.79/gallon. Both towns are in the same county and less than 40 miles apart, yet there is a $1.20/gallon difference. Guess where I filled up.

Apache Trail

One of my favorite drives was the Apache Trail (Route 88) from Tortilla Flat up to Roosevelt Lake. Unfortunately, landslides closed the road several years ago. I had heard that the state was not going to re-open it and now, after looking at the following drone video, I can understand why...

More Cold/Wet Weather

One of the reasons for spending the winter in southern Arizona has traditionally been the warm/dry climate, but not this year as we are having the worst weather I have experienced in the 11 years I have been coming here. If this had been my first winter, I am not sure I would have returned.

Raquel Welch

Raquel Welch has passed away at age 82. She was the quintessential sex symbol in my younger days. The poster of her in a fur bikini from the movie "One Million Years BC" was almost a prerequisite for most college dorm rooms. Here's a photo taken in 1966 at UNC, Chapel Hill...

Polaris RZR Trails & Rocks

I just purchased a 2019 Polaris Trails & Rocks from a friend here in the park. I had been thinking of buying another side-by-side for a while, but could not justify the price for a new one. Finding a used, well maintained machine made the decision much easier.

The Trails & Rocks model was made for rock crawling and comes with a lot of options that are add-ons for most Polaris vehicles including a winch, rock sliders, skid plate, gps, etc. Plus, the original owner put a lot of extras on it as well. With the Jeep and RZR I have the best of both OHV worlds. All I need now is some warm, dry weather to go off-road again.

Scary Numbers

Here are our country's national debt numbers as of this morning...

I suspect most people do not think much about our country's national debt or its effect on our economy. To give the $31+ trillion debt some perspective, consider that is over $246,000 per taxpayer and the interest alone is around $520 billion a year at current interest rates. That is money that could be used to solve a lot of our country's problems. Click here to see the most recent numbers.
