So, finally, I'm just going to admit that I'll never finish this post, so here's as far as I got. Postus Interruptus, I guess. But if I don't just burn this one off now, this blog will be dead forever, so sorry about that:

One thing which was funny was that I brought lovely, beautiful and tasteful gifts for my three sisters and my mother, and for my brother... the disturbing vintage plush toy seen above.
The weather was stunning the whole time I was there. Here is the view from my parents' backyard on a perfect Spring day:
Next up, a trip to Bisbee! First, though, a trip to famous BK Tacos for one of their justifiably celebrated "Sonora Style" hot dogs. This guy made sure you felt welcome:
Bisbee is a fair distance from Tucson, in the southeastern corner of Arizona. You pass through miles of scrubby valleys filled with joshua trees, ironwood, mesquite, creosote, etc.
The surrounding mountains are gorgeous (sorry, lousy shots from the car window):
Bisbee, Arizona is an old mining town which never completely died, but instead transitioned into an undeniably quaint yet almost unbearably cutesy tourist. Mid Atlantic residents will know what I mean when I say, "It's like Harper's Ferry meets Breaking Bad."
Anyway, that's it. I don't really have trenchant observations about Bisbee after all.
Onward!

Yay! Closure! I need to see more of AZ. And giant wieners.
That toy is just way too disturbing. Thank you for the next three weeks of nightmares in advance.
