Phoenix Phoenix is served by a network of freeways, many of which were initiated by a 1 cent general sales tax measure approved by voters in 1985. Before this network, I-10 and I-17 handled almost all freeway traffic in Phoenix, placing a large burden on surface arterial streets, leading to increased traffic congestion as the area grew in size. I-10 (the Maricopa and Papago Freeways) from Los Angeles travels from the west through downtown, and exits the metro area in a...

With the NFL season halfway over, it's fair to say there have been a few surprises. Teams that were wonderful last year have already hung up the ol' pigskin, resigning to the fact that the only way they will get into this year's playoffs is either with a ticket or wire cutters. Teams that were weak last year have dug in their cleats, making a run at the postseason. And, perhaps in the biggest surprise of all, Al Davis is actually still alive. For as many surprises there have been, there have also been a few things that weren't exactly shocking: Indianapolis is good, Arizona is bad, and Terrell Owens is still acting like a spoiled child, bent on taking his ball and leaving. After 8 NFL games...

One of the most popular aspects of Southern Arizona is the wide open countryside. This is an area that has long been associated with a style of life unlike that in any other area of the country. There are numerous assets to life in Southern Arizona, the least of which is the stunning landscape and the beautiful weather. Ranches are a favorite type of property in this area, and some properties span miles and miles of pristine farmland. This is a place with a slower pace.

Here are a few words of caution to parents who have children in schools that use violent punishments, a.k.a. paddling. They need to anticipate disingenuousness on the part of educators and administrators who typically do not invite dialog with the public on this topic. When drawn into discussions about "discipline," school officials are apt to trot out those familiar, well-rehearsed, stock responses, the purpose of which is to divert criticism and lull parents.MYTH - Corporal punishment is used only after all other means have failed and is governed by strict guidelines.FACT - The number of pupils beaten will always be grossly underestimated because school administrators are savvy enough to AVOID...

I include an excerpt from my book The Kelts: Children of the Don as a way of giving the gist of what the Biblical Ophir and the guilds of metal workers named after him may have been up to in the four millennia before Jesus. Whether his guild of workers actually built a temple for David as mentioned in the Bible does not really matter. There is lots of evidence of the international nature of corporate enterprises going back long before Ophir.They shared knowledge on the oceans and made charts that led to the Hadji Ahmed map that shows the Bering Strait as it was 12,500 years ago. Some of these navigators learned trigonometry and geometry as a natural progression of their travel by the stars. Cults of...

Pickup trucks and SUVs with trailer hitches have a wide range of uses. They can pull boats, campers, cargo trailers and a number of other items. There are several types of trailer hitches. Most pickup trucks have what is called a ball trailer hitch. Other types of trailer hitches are gooseneck trailer hitches and fifth wheel hitches.It is important to have a strong enough truck to haul whatever is connected to the trailer hitch. The truck must have enough engine strength to build up momentum to pull the trailer. This is why you very rarely see cars equipped with trailer hitches.Trailer hitches must be installed correctly to the truck or the entire hitch rig can come off, leaving the cargo behind...

Do you have a weekend without anything to do or a weekend when you don't want to do anything? I know what I'd do. I would pack up the truck and head for the woods.

Antlers do not just keep growing. They drop off and the animals grow new ones. These sloughed-off antlers are called shed. Shed hunting or collecting has been a great source for week end entertainment, especially during the off hunting season from late winter to early spring. Shed antlers are prized for making everything from jewelry to chandeliers. The big bonus is that the animals drop them every year and do not have to be killed for their antlers. However, collecting shed must be done with the animals best interest at heart. Never approach wild animals of any kind. There is no need to push them off their feeding and watering areas or disturb their routines just to get an antler. Winter is a very...
