Arizona Trivia

·        Arizona has 3,928 mountain peaks and summits, more mountains than any one of the other Mountain States (Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming).

·        All New England, plus the state of Pennsylvania would fit inside Arizona.

·        Arizona became the 48th state and last of the contiguous states on February 14, 1912.

·        Arizona's disparate climate can yield both the highest temperature across the nation and the lowest temperature across the nation in the same day.

 

My Sometimes-Long-Winded Thoughts

Sunshine, blue sky. Nice Fall day. Expecting high winds later today through Wed. morning with maybe some snow.

Broncos had a big win over the Lions yesterday….Cards play tonight!

My Tahiti trip is a go…all paid for. Somehow, I never got the email to pay, but called and paid today. xI called my brother about Christmas. The airport in Merida has a testing site and my brother said not to worry…some friends just went through it recently. What a relief.

The Focus group will be back from Egypt on Tuesday. With all the pictures, it was a great adventure for all.
