Az Governor Doug Ducey (R) issues statewide 8pm to 5am curfew. For a week I believe.

There has been some rioting in Phoenix and some in Tucson but the rich area of Scottsdale was
looted last night. That must have been the last straw for Ducey the trump supporter.
I live 10 miles outside the small city of Sierra Vista in SE Az, and there has been zero stuff
going on here. All the stuff Ducey recently opened, like bars and restaurants, will lose a big piece
of their business. Some of the musicians I know are out of gigs. I know the vibe around here and
can guarantee that there will be many violations. There will be those who think this is a violation of their liberties.
This area is pink. It (the curfew) means little to me as I rarely went
out before and go to bed early. So the shit finally hits my area, my state.

2. I love living in the boonies. Not as far out as you Kali, but I'm very secure here.

Except for driving into town once a week, I'm home all the time.
I was the first person to buy land in my area, 40 acres in '78.
I'm still fairly secluded and I always wanted to be that way.

The mornings are scorching and the clouds come about noon.
June will be hot and dry.

Seems like a big overreaction to me. You may be right about Scottsdale. When I first heard about looting there I thought "Scottsdale? What, were a bunch of women with fake blonde hair and fake boobs looting Nieman Marcus?"

If I lived there I would have the house facing south to see the mountains which are particularly beautiful when covered with snow.

In '78 there was a lot of work (construction) for me, much fewer people, inexpensive land,
great weather and great views, good water and cool history. I ended up staying.
