Oddities

A few months ago, I boarded a plane and flew to Arizona with my boss on a business trip which, I must say, was anything but boring! Our first day there, after a full day of work, we were sitting at a red light and were rear-ended by another driver. Ouch! Our rental car was crunched and had to be replaced. That alone was an adventure I hope to never repeat!

The temperature while were there was over 100 degrees every day, and that was in September. While the main reason for the trip was business-related, there were a few opportunities to take photos.

This is a saguaro cactus that we saw on the side of the road near the freeway. It looks as though it was trying to figure out which way to grow but couldn't make up its mind. (Did you know that saguaro cacti are 18-24 inches in diameter, can grow 15-50 feet tall and can live as long as 200 years?)
