Well put Ck1. Thanks for standing up for our right to disagree and our right to discuss. Threads don't always go where we want them to, but that's what makes this site work. Well put Snick and Ck1 and Matt, my sentiment exactly. Makes it interesting and our right for free speech within limits of th...

Right, sheri, thats the idea, but how does it actually work out in practice? Do those people go on to understand how to enjoy the wilderness in solitude or can they only enjoy it with the social aspect, or does it even matter, I guess they enjoy the wilderness in groups in the same way I enjoy it a...

That gives me an idea. Does being part of the boy scouts actually diminish the wilderness experience? Seems to me it might. After all one of my favorite things about the wilderness is that I don't have to share it with a big group of people (usually...) perhaps associating wild-craft with socializi...

Giovanna, cool pictures! Thanks for sharing them. Nighthiker, I could have used a black light on a night hike out of Peter's canyon. While scrambling over boulders I got way too close to a scorpion. Neither of us was hurt in the encounter but I wondered how many other close calls I've had without k...

I believe that as long as the parents raise their child and the Boy Scout leader/club teach the boy scouting ways, then it's fine. As long as the leader does not inject "his" views/morals/religious beliefs, then it's a worthy club for a child. I am in favor of the Boy Scouts when they stick to what ...

Much has changed over the last twenty years (and more) Men now, much like women are being evaluated more and more on physical qualities. With this increased discussion, I have noticed an unprecedented honesty about the importance of men (ahem) measuring up . Perhaps the increase in knife ownership ...

I don't know exactly what to expect, but I love the way you all are giving me the updates. sherileeaz, in my opinion, the monsoon season, usally between June and September, is the most awesome weather event in Arizona. Well, actually, any wet weather event in Arizona is awesome, :lol: but nothen li...

Being an X Air-force meteorologist, I wait impatiently each year for the monsoon season. The last couple of years have been somewhat dissapointing. Lots of dust, little rain. For the newcomers to the area, here is an excellant resource to learn more about the arizone monsoon: http://ag.arizona.edu/...

This will be my first monsoon season/storm. (or whatever is politically correct in refering to the rainy season here) :D I don't know exactly what to expect, but I love the way you all are giving me the updates. I've been through tornados, hurricane type winds, but flash flooding and dust storms whe...

I love your post. It made me do a bit of thinking about each decade of my life and how it fits in to what you are asking. When I was 10, I was the neighbor lady's child sitter. I loved it. I would go down and watch her two children while she ran errands, went grocery shopping, etc. Do you have any t...

Sherri........wayyyyyyy back when the Valley of the sun was still ....hmmmmmmm small.......there wasn't any cable tv.....no sattelite tv...and we only had 4 tv stations, and if your antennae wasn't aimed right you could only get 3 of those......Wallace and Ladmo were dedicated to children in every ...

And your kids CAN watch reruns of W&L on channel 27 (thats the local channel for those of us that don't have cable). But, i think the station is call AZTV or something like that. Sunday nights i believe. http://www.kaz.tv/wl/ http://www.geocities.com/hidenchef/WallaceandLadmo.html I remember dying ...

Hmmm ok all, I'm a new Phoenix resident as of the end-of-February. YOU are stuck with me so there! :twisted: I love it her...

That article professes EXACTLY what I want the rest of the states to know - AZ SUCKS! Now stop coming - go back, and please, let Philly regain 5th place again. Ummm Marlee, you mean the ones "thinking" about moving here right? Cause I'm a new Arizonian, but I'll tell everyone after me who wants to ...

'bout the only MAJOR positive I can say about Philly is that about +/- 227 years ago some Philly folks had the fortitude and foresight to design, fight for and implement a free country. After reading the article, I would say it's fair to say that about +/- 226 years ago, "most" of the intelligent p...

Thanks for sharing the article, I had heard a bit on the news about it, but didn't see the article til now. I don't know what is more scary--the fact that this man had to write such an outrageously bias article to make Phoenix look bad and Philly look good, or the fact he is so hung up and went way ...

Does anyone know what the penalty/fine is for not paying the ^##@*** fee? I was wondering that too? But I'm not the type not to pay the fee, but wonder if others are ticketed and for how much and etc. Maybe that's part of the fee, the cost to enforce it! UGH! By the time the fee is divided, probabl...

Absolute definitions don't fit the original question - so really we should just string up joe for even asking the question in the first place. He's such a source of contention around here.
