It's The Man !!! He wants to mess with our feet so we can't resist. Once we're all without functional footwear, the man with have complete control over us. I'm learning how to walk on my hands in preperation for that day.

@TooOld2Hike_EP Hard to say why. Sometimes I think shoe companies are some sadistic cabal that's out to destroy our feet. Every time I find a useable shoe, it gets discontinued. Then it's months of pain and a bag of wasted money as I try shoe, after shoe, after shoe, until I find another doomed mod...

Sounds like a discontinuation is afoot

@speedgoat Well, it is Pima County, after all. In the case of the sign you referenced “Except By Hikers And Permit”, there are five words. Isn’t it interesting that there are also 5 county supervisors? Given the situation, I would have to guess that each of the supervisors were tasked with coming u...

@speedgoat You have to email the county. There's a link on this page about half way down, and a bunch of other info to dig through. The page is written in bureaucrat, so it will remain absoultely confusing, but at least you can apply for an overnight permit there. You will need to provide the prope...

Same in Tucson. Always messing with the fireworks. More recently, if it doesn't rain on the 4th, they want to cancel due to fire risk. Can't win.

I used to regularly chase my mother-in-law off the property using a small perfume bottle, marked "Holy Water". That's gotta rank pretty high.

My ex wasn't French, but was the one and only dish she could cook.

@Pivo It's a thicker texture of Corn Huskers Lotion, so not overly greasy. I would put it on the cat or dog, rub it in, wipe it off then put on the boots. The boots would always come off, but seemed to have absorbed any residual within 5 or 10 minutes. In conjunction with boots, it shouldn't be get...

Can't give advise on boots, but I can't say enough good about this stuff for healing paws up. Tried several boots that had great customer reviews, but never did find any that were pet approved.

@ShatteredArm
Yesterday, when I went shooting with all three of my kids and my son-in-law. When was the last time you had face to face with another human?

@TooOld2Hike_EP No, you are not alone. I had 3 hiking partners form the Saddle Brooke Hiking Club that opted out as well at that same time and for the same reasons. One of them was actually a steward for a number of years. Fortunately, if you leave the TV unplugged and stay off of the social media ...

@TooOld2Hike_EP I know just the trail association you speak of, and I did the same. I joined, then even did a fund raising event for them. Then one month I received my news letter and out of the blue, it was like a print version CNN, but on crack. That was it for me. I don't need to pay to be guilt...

@kingsnake
A mere hiccup. Had this project been in Pima County, the sign would indicate reopening in 2034, no work would ever be done, and it wouldn't actually reopen until 2044, if ever.

@LindaAnn
Lassie may have been a bit of a stretch.

But Linda, some might consider this a marketable talent. Just tossing it out there, but acting dogs don't grow on trees - well, no dogs grow on trees, but anyway, she could be the next Lassie with skills like that.
