Okay, I was sitting in line at the Bank drive through the other day behind an Infiniti QX56.  While waiting I started looking closely at the general shape and design of the back end of this SUV.  Then I focused on the brake lights.  Hmmm.... Heavy plastic with rows of circles carved into it.  4 rows up.... 6 rows across.... 24 holes.  and another 24 holes on the other back up light..... that's 48.  Then there were 6 brake lights running across the top of the rear window.  That makes 54... and.....and wait.  2 backup lights.  Fifty-six! (56).  So is it coicidence?  Naw........................................

Has anyone seen this guys signs around town?

Kind of hard to miss since this year they aren't sticking with intersections but are posting mid street all over town!  Mr. Huppenthals signs catch my interest because he is so education orriented.  Promising 'reading' by 3rd grade!  Um, am I just that out of the loop?  In my day we were reading in 1st grade, certainly by second.   By third we were doing more complex tasks. 

Has education in America... Arizona in particular, gone so backwards that we cannot guarantee reading until 3rd grade?  Meaning some aren't reading until 4th?!

And are there no rules governing placement of political signs? 

I was in yesterday at my local Bashas Store when my checker Kathy made the statement, "I hear the market stinks".  I smiled and told her not true, in fact we were just contacted by a buyer looking in the Million Dollar plus home market that afternoon.  Plus there's been a lot of activity in the lower end of the market. 

Kathy paused, blinked twice and said, "So, it's thems that has it and thems that dont!"

I told Kathy I'd be quoting her.  You have to when you run into genius!

Have you run into someone worth quoting lately?  Please share!

Make that.... The Cactus Drive-In Theatre.  The new OLD name for the DeAnza Drive in theatre at 22nd.  The drive-in was originally called the Cactus In.  There is a new effort to re-open the Drive-in Walk-in Bike-in Theatre all thats holding them up is finding a 4 acre parcel to place it.  see more about their efforts at http://azstarnet.com/business/local/article_370ccb4a-b52d-5a66-b090-e5a05dd0760a.html

So what do you think, do you miss the Drive-in theatres of times gone by.  Maybe they'll even have blue tooth wireless audio for the movies, now that would bring it into the new century!  Tell us what you think.

Now I'm not saying I'm cheap.... I have enough other people to do that for me.  But this article in the At Home section of the Arizona Daily Star sounded right up my alley, or backyard, or vacant field.....
