Holiday Visitors...
Resident's of the Dineh (Navajo) Nation, they're in town for the turkey and anything that falls off the dining room table. In order of appearance they are: "Allie", who just woke up from a nap and is thinking that it's almost time for the next. "Baby", who, for utterly baffling reasons has decided I am his arch-enemy. "Peanut", whose inner thoughts consist exclusively of food food food food food food and more food.

PRESCOTT TOMBSTONES: In Remembrance of lives passed...
Yavapai County Cemetery. They used to call such places Pauper's Fields". Consider this: Irma Litz lived to the ripe old age of 91. In death she is only remembered by a 4 inch in diameter metal plate. Did she have children? A husband? Did she do good things? Great things? Is she a memory to anyone alive?

The View From Your desk...
Behind this giant bag of "styro-corn" is a real human being who "hates" to have his picture taken.

Good night...
Consider this: They don't call it the common flu. They don't call it the common measles. Or the common chicken pox. Or the common athlete's foot.
Your dentist has never told you that you have the common cavity or abscessed molar. Your optometrist has never said, "Yep, you've got your common cataract.
In fact, the only condition that anyone ever considers common is, of course, a cold.
But, even then the words common and cold aren't always in lock-step. For instance,
I have never called in to work and told my supervisor that I can't come in today because I have a common cold. I have never told anyone that a relative or friend couldn't make it to the funeral, wedding, birthday party or whatever because they're in bed with the common cold.
No, the only time common and cold are in the same sentence is when someone tells you, "There- is-no-cure-for -the-common-cold". (Usually they say this in smug, self-satisfied too-bad-you're screwed tones, and act as if they are the first person ever to relate this cosmic, profound, irrefutable pearl of wisdom.)
But, does this mean that there are other colds out there that are curable? The "special" colds? The "exclusive, limited membership" colds? The "one time only, deluxe, super colossal steal-of-the-century colds?
No. It just means that there is no cure for a cold. And that is why it's so common. Duh.
(Editors note: We apologize for this semi-coherent rant. It seems we have come down with, for lack of a better word, a common cold)
