Idea: Let\'s start a *citrus* farm outside of Nashua!
The Lonn devices are almost tedious to \"turn on\". So, you are
very conscious of how long you\'ve been deforming the nozzle to
allow water to pass; turning the water OFF comes as a relief!

Nashua as in the place where they should set up a checkpoint for illegal
migrants from Massachusetts?

\"Scientists\" aren\'t typically concerned with economics.
Water drives economic development in the West. If you don\'t have adequate
water supplies, you can\'t build houses. If you can\'t build houses, you
can\'t support businesses.
Cities, here, need to ensure a 100yr water supply for bonding.

I\'ve used those someplace, probably a filling station. It\'s nothing I would
inflict on myself. Besides I check on the river about 250 yards from my
backdoor. Unlike sections of the Rio Grande, it\'s still flowing.

Yeah, planning ahead is kinda essential when you require and support housing
that has to last 30 years \'til the mortgage is paid off.
A trailer park, absent a supply of water, isn\'t a good place to put down roots, but
it\'s easy to leave.

Not paying attention to alarms, was a MAJOR violation of proper behavior during school
fire drills. Even as an adult, if you are one, it\'s an impropriety.
It\'s not about fear, but about apprehension; if you expect to drink water, you
want to live near a source, hopefully a reliable one. Bad things happen
if we don\'t plan ahead.

Many people are afraid of spiders. Maybe it\'s genetic.

Hey, if you haven\'t yet, I think you should stuff an empty CO2 cartridge

Pima County found that out when they tried to put a .50/day tax on RVs to fund
their baseball stadium. When your potential tax base is on wheels they tend to
furl the awning and head for some other county.
Huh? \'Alarm\', as in snooze alarm or fire alarm, or smoke alarm, just means a
mechanism of warning. It doesn\'t require an emotional response of fear.
Time to implement stage 2 of your morning\'s plan, or plan B
of water supply for a state. Or, change a battery. Whatever is appropriate.
Where, ACTUALLY, do they think they were going to go? Feenigs? (why
hadn\'t
they been going there already?) Sahuarita? (how many restaurants and
other
accommodations?) Green Valley? (go away! leave us old folks to die in
peace!) Vail?

Quartzite.
I have a small trailer at Why that hasn\'t moved since the early
\'90s. When that scheme went through I registered it as a mobile home, which
costs me about $11 a year in property tax.
If you\'re familiar with Why it doesn\'t have much in the way of accommodations.
Luckily the library in Ajo, small as it is, is a branch of the Pima County
library and can pull on its resources.
They also finally put a part-time DMV branch in Ajo so you don\'t have to go to
Casa or Tucson.

Ha! Too funny! Have your absentee ballot sent there -- and forwarded
by a friend! Vote early, vote often!
Yeah, I had a cousin come out when he was exploring the country for a
place to spend a few years. He visited Ajo (and isn\'t there a reservation
out that way?) and decided, \"No Thanks\"!
[Though he ended up in Gallup -- which can\'t be much better!]

Nah, wrong district. I couldn\'t vote for Wendy Rogers. It would be better if
she didn\'t look like a chipmunk caught in the headlights in most photos.

There isn\'t much there. Phelps Dodge pulled out in \'85, leaving an open pit
mine and miles of tailings. They went through the motions every 10 years or so
so they won\'t have to start remediation. PD is gone now, bought by
Freeport-McMoran who will probably try to weasel out of the liabilities.
When I first went there in \'88 PD was selling off the company houses for about
$20k per. I considered it briefly but decided by the time I retired in 20 years
or so they would be money sinks, needing new roofs, and so forth.
PD ran the company store for a while and pulled out but there is a grocery
store which is adequate if not fancy. Same for the hardware store. The movie
theater died in the \'90s, and the restaurants started following suit.
They built a Border Patrol station at Why which prevented a complete collapse
but it still isn\'t a thriving community.
The Tohono O\'Odham Reservation starts about half a mile east of Why on 86 and
ends just west of Three Points. It\'s an irregular shape but extends into Mexico
so in the US it runs from the border to about 10 miles south of Casa Grande.
There\'s not a lot there. Sells is the biggest town. I don\'t think Kitt Peak
itself is on the rez but where you turn to go up the mountain is.
North of Ajo to close to Gila Bend is the Cabeza Prieta Wildlife Refuge / Barry
Goldwater Bombing Range. You can hike out on it after you call up to Gila to
find out if they\'re planning a war that day.
It\'s a great place if you like the desert and have basic tastes.
Gallup is a lot. It\'s claim to fame is where the Indians come off the rez to
get drunk and kill themselves trying to get home, either in car wrecks or
exposure if they\'re hoofing it. It\'s over 6400 feet so winter is a thing there.
You cross the Divide east of town so that\'s another little surprise like Flag
for people who think I40 is dry and dusty year around.
Neighbor lived there for some time. Then divorced and moved here.
She never mentions anything \"interesting\" about the place -- other than
heat.
Yeah, one comment my cousin made was how he felt like \"a minority\", there.
And, how different their culture is. Language, values, traditions, etc.
He didn\'t claim they were standoffish -- in fact, many invited him into
their homes for traditional meals, etc.
But, he was uncomfortable feeling that *he* was the \"different\" one!
