Opening Day
It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone.

Blog Archive: 'Photo' Radar Scam
(Originally posted October 22, 2010)
Ignite Phoenix #6 - "Welcome to Arizona, the surveillance state"
Presenter - Ross Trumble:
Photo Radar was forced on the people of Arizona, promising safer roads. Instead it made roads less safe, conflicts existing law, clogs up courts & frustrates citizens with a flawed state wide VIDEO RECORDING system. Lobbyists, missteps & broken promises from AZ Government have allowed it to continue, but a citizens initiative aims to eliminate it.

Kirkpatrick to Run for Congress Again
Former Arizona District 1 Representative Ann Kirkpatrick says she plans to run for Congress again in 2012. Kirkpatrick lost to Republican Paul Gosar last year.
She told the Arizona Republic that she hopes the 2012 political climate will be more hospitable to her candidacy because it is a presidential year and will probably have a bigger voter turnout.
Arizona’s congressional districts will be redrawn this year to accommodate an additional House seat that the state is getting because of its population growth. This could significantly change the 1st Congressional district. But since Kirkpatrick and Gosar are both from Flagstaff, they’ll most likely be in the same district.
