Transportation alternative

Hi, all,

For those who don't want to rent a car but find the shuttle too expensive, here's an alternative:

The fare for the AJO route 685 from Phoenix is $5.00, the bus runs Monday-Saturday with limited times. On the weekdays it leaves the Desert Sky Mall at 5:10am, 10:30am, 1pm, 4pm and 6pm. On Saturdays it leaves at 11am and 3 pm.

I could then pick you up in Ajo, a two hour drive for me. (So much better than Phoenix, 4-5 hours). For those who are truly adventurous, there's another bus from Ajo to Why AZ, but it means a bit of a wait in Ajo. Then you're only an hour 15 minutes away.

Look what I found in the Salmos store yesterday:


And these are kind cute:


This morning we took Shadow out to Mirador. The beach was relatively empty, and it was about 20 degrees. We threw the kong out into the ocean for him for an hour. A beautiful sight, watching him crest the waves. A couple came by admiring him, and the guy said,"Tell him to stop having such a good time! It's a shame to see a dog suffer like that.".

I love that they have to find different ways to describe the sunshine: Plenty of sunshine, a full day of sunshine, brilliant sunshine, abundant sunshine. Like the Eskimos have 72 words for snow.
