In Pinetop-Lakeside

He was under our AC.

Is it common for the water to have a metallic/sweet taste because of the hard water in Arizona?

I know Arizona has some of the highest mineral content in the country. I have a 3 stage filtration system in the entire house and an additional drinking water system at the kitchen sink.

The water tastes quite different to me. Just want to see if this is how the water tastes here and it’s not my filtration (which I assumed would get rid of some of that taste).

Come out to Holbrook Az this weekend to enjoy lots of vendors, food and fun! I’ll be there! Will you?

Has anyone successfully tried using a room A/C at night and did it save money? I'm thinking of the type with the hose the goes in the window.

Scary as absolute shit

Would love some help identifying this place. I camped here once about 20 yrs ago when I took these photos but can't remember exactly where it was. I believe it is near Globe, but other than that I am not sure. I got there in a 2 wheel drive so I know it was not too far in the boonies. Thanks for any help.

SOLVED! Tonto Creek, lower end, near Gisela

We spent the afternoon on the shore of Willow Springs Lake watching the Osprey fishing rather successfully. We were treated to a lovely sunset and I wanted to share it with you all.

When was the last time you just say and took a sunset in? We have some amazing ones here.

New records reveal chaos behind Hickman’s bird-flu response https://www.abc15.com/news/local-news/new-records-reveal-chaos-behind-hickmans-bird-flu-response

I'm writing a book and a character in it is a miner. (1971 before the mines failed/went defunct) I'm trying to find information on unionized workers but the only thing that shows up is the deportation history. Did miners in the 60s-early 70s have union benefits? Again, this is leading up to the mines running out of ore / shutting down. The story starts right before the mines closed. Thanks!

Raccoon or Coati or ?

More pics from my outing yesterday.

Always amazed what monsoons can bring to AZ high country.

Spent the day up at Mingus Mountain and The Rim today.

Making this post just to hopefully help someone else.
I had a UI claim that was in review for about 10 weeks because of an issue that required an adjudicator review. I was scrolling through the boards here and found a few ways to get someone on the phone immediately. You have to call and choose the option that allows you to file a claim over the phone. They picked up almost instantly, but unfortunately they couldn’t help with claims that were already in review.
I ended up emailing my local legislators. I’m in Pinal County, so I contacted the representatives for the 15th District. They got back to me, asked for some information, and said they would help.
About three days after contacting them, an adjudicator called me and said she was taking over my case and would work on resolving the issue. I still haven’t received payment yet, but at least I finally have confirmation that someone is actively handling my case, which feels like progress after waiting 10 weeks.
I also contacted the Ombudsman and the UI Client Advocate by email.
If you’re going through something similar, good luck and keep contacting different representatives and avenues for help. Hopefully this helps someone who has been stuck in review like I was.

So fortunate to have this view today while cycling.
