In July 1946, much to the dismay of the state of Texas, Monterey Productions announced its plan to film the western movie “Red River” in Arizona. The story is based in Texas and Kansas, but the production manager noted that “he can find every type of Texas scenery within the 20-mile radius of an imaginary circle around his location near Elgin. So, instead of going to Texas where he would have to travel several hundred miles for the correct changes in scenery, he’s moving his entire production outfit to the Santa Rita Hotel here [Tucson] and to an about-to-be-built camp near Elgin.” [Arizona Daily Star, 7/25/1946].

(The Center Square) – Medical marijuana legalization in North Carolina has taken a small step, with passage on the first of two required votes in the Senate.
                The second is on the calendar for Monday.
                Whether it’ll get any floor time in the House of Representatives, however, remains skeptical. There, Speaker Tim Moore, R-Cleveland, says there’s not enough votes.

The Patagonia Youth Enrichment Center (PYEC) hosted a community party on May 4 to celebrate ten years serving the area’s youth. Attendance was high and the youth center’s patio was filled with people from all around. The current PYEC youth mingled with returning young adults, all of whom are a valuable part of the center’s core. Families and community members had opportunities to catch up with one another, tour the youth center, talk with the PYEC staff, board members and youth, as well as enjoy a dinner of hamburgers, sides and desserts.

New York – As Trump anticipates his sentencing on July 11th in the New York hush money case, Florida Judge Aileen Cannon made a ruling this Monday. Despite rejecting Trump’s legal team's request to dismiss several charges in the classified documents case, she conceded on a minor point. She removed a portion of the charges that referenced an uncharged allegation, but upheld the other charges.

I am more anxious than usual the night before an anticipated trip to an open mine in one of our local Sky Island mountain ranges. The next day’s drive proves to be anticlimactic. Though the road is severely rutted, and the falloff steep and menacing, our tippy side-by-side is in very capable hands. The mine is a wonder, a labyrinth of digging, all stopes and drifts. I decline an opportunity to take a rope assisted scramble down an incline shaft.
