Flagstaff's Schultz Fire: Pictures and Links


These links are helpful in day to day life, but particularly helpful right now.



The Shultz Fire is 40% Contained. Yes! (o% does not sound as nice.)
There is a $2,500 reward offered for anyone giving information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person whom abandoned a campfire in Shultz Pass, causing out beautiful inner basin and Locket Meadow to burn. Oh, and Flagstaff. I like being hopeful, but this will be a difficult case to solve. If you have information call: 928-527-3508.

Lent is Over, Not My Mission!

In order to truly give up clutter, my surroundings must be fabulous!
(I may still be a bit cluttered, but I am working on it every day! All clothing is now in drawers, hanging up or in the wash. No joke!) I decided to paint the wall exterior to my kitchen,as well. I like it!
I am working on my bedroom now, and a gear closet. Pictures to follow!

* "pictures say a thousand words, so why should I?" What ever happened to my old fashioned rants, you ask? I do believe working graveyard shifts this entire year has made me complacent, literally. Ha-ha!

**Don't you just hate it when people use the word "literally" incorrectly? "My son is literally bouncing off the walls!" Oh? Is there a trampoline involved? Did you send him to space camp in space? Or do you mean metaphorically, but just cant get the syllables out? God bless 'em!
(There, a baby rant. Happy?)

That Which Looks How it Feels: Paintings of Chiura Obata

"Before Thunderstorm, Tuolumne Meadows"by my favorite Artist, Obata
I have lived in many beautiful places, and many scenic renderings, but it is rare to find an artist whom can cause my chest to overflow with in-the-moment emotion, just as the actual place does.
Obata does this. He paints how it feels.
To me.
My heart weeps with a thousand unnamed emotions.

Dye For Your Beliefs

Well, the AZ sun has already bleached out my (way too mild for my taste) red and purple streaks. I think I shall go to Hairitics for a propper "do" when I travel to Chicago this October!
