Chili Champ

I thought everyone might like to know that Tobin is the new Norfolk 2nd Ward Chili Cook Off Champion. He won with a huge pot of Boz's Baked Beans, not Chili. However it was judged by 4 missionaries from Utah, so they probably thought it was some kind of Southern Chili.
And the fabulous prize? A new ladel. Sweet.

California-Arizona trip






Now that we have been back from California and Arizona for a week, it's time to show you a couple of pictures! We had a good, but cold and wet time. It was geezerville everywhere! No kids or young families once we left Scott. In Tucson we went to the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum. One of the best parts there was the hummingbird house. Many of the birds just sat and let you take pictures of them.
The black line in the picture is the border fence with Mexico, about a mile away, near the Coronado Historical Monument.
We spent a morning at the Pima Air and Space Museum in Tucson and took two very interesting tours, including a bus tour of a "boneyard" where over 4000 old planes and helicopters that have been retired are stored. They are now used for parts. All windows and electronic parts are covered to protect them from ultra violet rays.
Dennis is looking out at a very wet street in Tombstone.
Salla, Scott, Henkka, and Dennis are looking at fish in a pond at San Juan Capistrano. The water was right to the top of the pond and the fish would come right up and look at us. Henkka and Salla loved it.

Interesting Stuff

Scott has requested that we blog only on interesting stuff. I'll do my best, but interesting is in the eye of the beholder.

For Scott and Beatta. (Always brings tears to my eyes. Sniff. I still do that shopping cart thing.)

Nordic terror continues rampage.


Via Tyler Cowen (who I get to meet this week!): Rent seeking behavior.

How to show some class.
