@brenda_V71 He wasn’t doing the best job at keeping a low profile.

@aemerybrown He’s actually Vito ‘The Plug’ Gambiggino from Staten Island, former button man for the Gambino Family ~ he was in the Witness Protection Program at the time. 😜

Richard Casanova, Director of Emergency Services in Tucson Arizona in the early 80s. TBH, I’d trust this man.

@benjaminnisbet Bring back smoking indoors during television interviews!

@aemerybrown Yep. No questions asked.

PSA: Crossroads is reopened after almost 2 and a half as of years. You are welcome.

1/19/26 Tumamoc hike # 8 Thoughts: all weekends should be 3 days, a short dose of extreme beauty is good for your mental health, I am ready to be done with school.

Sorry I missed your call.

1/13/26 Tumamoc hike # 5 Dang I missed doing this the past week. Hike with my pal Caroline. First Tumamoc photos with new phone!

Skipped Tumamoc and the gym today but saw the UA women’s basketball team beat BYU in a close game! Totally worth it.

I didn’t go Tumamoc today but I did make it to the gym and I did not have a meltdown on my first day back at the office so I’m going to count that as a win.

1/4/26 Tumamoc hike #4 Reflections: It has been at least a year since I’ve been in this good of a headspace. I’m deeply appreciative of the last two weeks off work and school. Tucson is beautiful.

1/3/26 Tumamoc hike #3 Lots of people hiking in jeans and asking how much further it is to the top during the first stretch, must be their New Year’s resolution.

1/2/26 Tumamoc hike #2 I can’t believe this Saguaro is still standing. True grit.

Over loud speaker officer are advising the mostly student residents to stay in their rooms and call 911 if they see anything suspicious.

TPD, PCSO and AZ DPS all on scene at the Sahara Apartments on Stone looking for a subject who fled a traffic stop. Officers have weapons drawn, K-9 units and helicopter are patrolling the area. @whatsuptucson @KOLDNews

1/1/26 Tumamoc hike #1 Highlights: light mist, cool breeze, overwhelming creosote smell, gratitude for being in Tucson Reflections: I don’t have to finish the chorizo burrito at Franks in one sitting Things noticed: the was the creosote blossoms hold tiny raindrops

I hope 2026 is better than 2025. Happy New Year, y’all.

A live chicken riding on this dude’s handlebars on a Sunday evening. I love Tucson.

Decided to go for a hike instead of watching the Cardinals today. Always a good decision.

The radio station stickers on my dad’s old tool box are peak 90’s Phoenix

This Cardinals season has stung a little more than normal. They’ve been close in every loss but 2 and just seem allergic to winning. I’ve been wondering if I’m enduring this suffering for no reason.
