At several points along the trail you can see petroglyphs made by the Hohokam Indians thousands of years ago. Nobody knows what the symbols and patterns meant to them.Click on these to enlarge to see the petroglyphs more clearly.
And who knew that "Tony" was an ancient Hohokam name?
We also saw an example of the rare "Praise Jesus" cactus, this one tall and skinny.
I know almost nothing about this, but what I've seen I sure like:

I've been reading today about Mary, part of my prep for Sunday. What a very special girl! I think it's noteworthy that the same angel (Gabriel) appeared to both Zacharias and Mary to tell each about the birth of a son. Zacharias, the mature priest, didn't believe Gabriel and was struck speechless as a result. Mary, the teenage girl in the village of Nazareth said, "I am your servant; may it be to me as you have said." The juxtaposition of those two narratives in Luke 1 is not a coincidence. (What other parallels do you see?)
Would it be excessively curmudgeonly to hang a sign around my neck that says, "I need a haircut. You don't need to chat me up while you do that. How 'bout we both just enjoy the quiet as you cut" ?
The next time Tiger shanks a 7-iron somebody from the gallery is going to yell, "Hey Tiger, maybe you should get Elin to hit that shot."

You and Jason should talk haircut strategy. He just answers no to every question.... "So, do you have anything fun planned for this weekend?" - NO .... "Do you have any kids? - NO... Nice huh?
He doesn't even try to be polite about it. Except for the last time when all four of us went in together and he realized that I was going to get the same girl as he did so he had to be nice, couldn't lie to her because he new he would be caught as soon as I got into the chair and started talking.
Maybe you need to try an old fashioned barber. I drive chicago dr every morning and there is always some old guy sitting in the barbershop chair watching the news while the barber gives a quick trim the the few hairs left.

While we're putting an end to pointless small talk - how about the bank teller that asks me what I have planned for the weekend. Really - are you honestly sitting there thinking - "I can't wait to find out if he's going to use this cash withdrawal to actually buy food in bulk at Sam's Club on Saturday!" It wwas one thing in Michigan where the teller may actually recognize you - but I don't think I've ever seen the same teller twice here.
I like Jason's strategy - except I may try the "No Habla Ingles" approach.
What about the Fred Meyer cashier who apologized to me for being slower than usual, then went on to explain it was because she got her "monthly visit from her friend" that day?
