Mona, I couldn't agree with you more. The "Old School" cartoons are definately not "PC" according to today's standards. But, at the same time, the diffference between right and wrong was not as "fuzzy" back then as it seems to be today. I feel bad for today's young minds. They are bombarded with mixed messages at home, at school, and within society-in general. Our job as parents is a difficult one. As 21st Century Television consumers, we have to arm our children with the common sense to distinguish what's serious, fun, or just plain entertainment. A difficult task, if you ask me. What you teach your children at night could be contradicted the next day in class by their teachers. With all of this confusion and mixed messages running rampant, it is no wonder that our children are escaping reality through cartoons!

A trip to Nogales, Sonora is always fun and some neat wares can be had for for a bargain. Park on the US side behind the McDonalds and walk across at the DeConcini port. It is definately an "International" experience for those visiting from afar.

In case no one knows, Silver Springs is located right next to Torres Blancas Golf D Course. Just north of the Continental Exit in Green Valley. Sounds like a good opportunity for some quick cash. Plus, you get to mingle with the elderly population. Bonus!

I couldn't agree with you more about the coolness of Sahuarita being the only incorporated town in AZ to provide free Internet access for its residents. The benefits are endless. Just think of the possibilities.... Kids could be Boolean-ing Google for that term paper due tomorrow while they wait for the bus outside at the curb today before class. Companies could come into Sahuarita and save a ton of money on start-up costs by not having to develop a web access infrastructure. I could go on and on....

This is just plain amazing to me and very smart. Sahuarita has the perfect geography to pull this off rather inexpensively. We do not have large geographic or man-made structures within town limits that would impede on a Wi-Fi signal. It is actually do-able and it can be done with minimal investment.

Another point that helps the town justify Wi-Fi is that we have just experienced a gigantic population boom. One of the largest in the country, from what I have researched. The number of new homes built in Sahuarita is staggering-somewhere along the lines of 10,000 in three years. The modern building standards have allowed Sahuarita to grow at a time when form fits function. Most homes here are built in 21st Century fashion. Take Rancho Sahuarita for example, every single home comes standard with Cat5 or 6 wiring throughout. Every single home there is setup for home networking and control wiring capabilities right when you move in. This is a great idea whose time has come. The entire home is ready for Wi-Fi or High Speed Cable the day you “Plug-in”!

The issue of canceling your High Speed Internet Account is feasible but I would wait. Sahuarita’s premiere Internet service is Cox. Cox is very FAST and very established. Wi-Fi is only as fast as the landline it is attached to, which most likely, in this case will be Cox’s service.

The next few years will be interesting. Sahuarita’s Wi-Fi will have to prove itself to the community and offering it for free is a big undertaking on a maintenance level. When it crashes, are we going to be treated as customers who need service or will we just be stuck until the town responds at its convenience? That has yet to be seen, but I hope and I have faith that this endeavor will be something that is revolutionary and will garner nation-wide attention.

Yeah, luckily for those that came before us, they didn't have to look at the power lines overhead that stretched for miles and miles. LOL...

This is in poor taste but let's just hope that's not Miss Deaf Texas. I know! I will go to Hell for that Comment!

It will be Duke and Syracuse as the last teams standing.

From the top of the Ski Run looking down into the valley today @ Crested Butte, CO. Windy and snowy. The weather decided to take a break and open up the valley for me to take this shot on my cellphone camera. Thank you Mother Nature!

Sunrise This Morning over Crested Butte, Colorado.

Where do I find me one of those?
