I want some coffee!

... but only a little bit. Close to sunset looking due South from our lot in SKP Saguaro Co-op. We had a bit of rain before I took the shot above. It cleaned the skies to the South of our park and left us with nice blue colors ahead of sunset. And the RV with the giant BandAid on it? A visitor to the park who had a right of way dispute with a permanent concrete structure in (I think they said) Tucson. They're still waiting for the repair guy to get started. An aside that perhaps no one but me seems to have noticed: as I type this on 18 July 2025 we have about 102 leaseholders in the park. Compared to say 2019, by July that number would typically be down to 50-60 and would hit a low of about 45 in mid-August. A lot has changed in RVer's travel-lives since the start of the COVID pandemic. 

Well, OK. Maybe only a *little* bit wet. We had a goodly downpour on 5 July but that doesn't count. 'Why is that?' you ask. Wellll... My magic day for the start of monsoon season is 6 July as related to me by the weather oracle. The 'oracle' was a waitress (does that make her an oracl-ess?) at the no-longer-there Cloverleaf Diner. Unfortunately the rain we had happened one day early on 5 July. Clearly that means either there is an error in the calendar or more likely the weather gods aren't paying attention to the required start of monsoon season. I'd gladly send them a copy of Dave & Carrie's annual photo calendar but the weather gods don't seem to want me to know their mailing address. I guess weather gods are like that. Probably afraid of that addy getting in the wrong hands! Nonsense aside this time of year offers a lot of sunset photo ops. Here's the best I can offer from this week... Sunset 8 July 2025 looking out our back door.  Sunse...
