Damsel snapped this photo of one of our “snowbirds” cars in the parking lot today with a hopeful bumper sticker urging the electorate to defeat the POtuS next Tuesday. Please get out the vote! Click on the image to enlarge.
Patriotism
President’s Day
The Town of Wickenburg has a policy of displaying the Stars and Stripes on holidays. Presidents Day is no exception. These flags are on Wickenburg Way, just across the road from the auto repair shop where we had one of the vehicles serviced today. Click on the image to enlarge.
Ride for 9-11
I would like to call your attention to a current activity regarding the 10th anniversary of the tragic events of 9/11/2001. A group of California firefighters have launched their “Ride for 9-11” cross country cycling event.
The riders are trying to raise money for both the Leary Firefighters Foundation and the Wounded Warriors Project. Check out their website to read more.
RIDE FOR 9-11
We are a team of firefighters that will be cycling across the United States to honor those whose lives were lost 10 years ago on September 11, 2001 and those who continue to fight for our freedom and safety.
The Ride For 9-11 will commence July 24, 2011 in Hollywood CA and end in New York City at the FDNY Firefighters Memorial on September 9, 2011.
By the way, the Never Forget Tribute counter (seen in the right sidebar) is on schedule to surpass 75 million hits by 9-11.
Happy Fourth of July
We celebrated with beef tenderloin (filet mignon) steaks on the grill and a nice quiet dinner on the patio. Last night, we saw the fireworks from Sunset Park just to the west of us, followed by some awesome summer monsoon thunderstorms in the area.
Fourth of July Weekend
Ramirez proposes a slight modification to the pledge of allegiance.
Happy 4th of July weekend everybody. Light posting to follow.
Flag Day in Wickenburg
Several times during the year, the Wickenburg Chapter of the American Legion places US flags in the historic downtown area and along the two main drags through town. Today, Flag Day, we ventured out for several errands and were delighted at the patriotic display. This image was taken along East Wickenburg Way (US 60) near old downtown looking west.
