The man-child's bullshit about a crisis at the southern border is, of course, fantasy. Yesterday I went down to San Luis, AZ to see if anything looked different. San Luis is a full-service port of entry 20 miles south of Yuma, always quite busy with trucks and workers mainly serving the agriculture industry. Busy, yes, but that's normal this time of year. The limited crossing at Los Algodones serves pedestrians and one lane of automobiles, but...
Steve and Sandy arrived in Quartzsite, bringing friends Dave and Shelley with them. We all sat around for a week or so while the tent show opened and the RVs poured in. I really like parking in the quiet desert and doing things in the town, but when the mobs come rolling in, I don't like it all.

Specifically, he claims the Dems are getting money from "Big Pot", even though the science says it's harmful. First off, until this recent election cycle the Democrats (and Republicans) have been completely off the...
I'm back in Q for a while. Trump's shutdown has no impact on us here in the LTVA (Long Term Visitor Area), except the BLM isn't collecting data or money. I dumped on the way in today, got water, and the trash bins are being serviced. Business as usual here as well as in town, and at the 14-day places. The bad news is that the number of people is increasing fast. It is the town of Quartzsite's one month of money coming in.
