Since I left my trucking job (waking up anywhere from 3:30 to 5:30 AM) I have been enjoying sleeping in a little. Today I decided to rise with the sun and try out my new digi cam. Here are some views from our deck. During a usual winter this place would be blanketed with snow. No white Christmas for us. Wait! I think I see one or two flakes up there! Part of the San Francisco Peaks, the tallest mountain in Arizona. All of the land down there was all farm land up until 5 years ago. Now all houses. Mount Elden and the Dry Lake Hills, nothing up there but volcanic rock. (nope, no geodes either) The ultimate rockhound destination!

Hi Chris,
I wish it was as good, only some Obsidian everything else is volcanic. (lava bombs are about the most exciting thing to find) but AZ is a great state and there are plenty of other areas nearby to go houndin'. We'd like to make it out your way someday, just have to learn how to speak British.

No need to learn to speak British, even we dont know how too... lol
Too many local dialects and slangs words to be called true British nowadays.
Cheers Chris

Just like American english I guess, a surfer from California doesn't know that the heck a farmer form Oklahoma is saying and vice versa.
We get a kick out of watching movies with lots of Cockney and try to decipher what is being said!
