6. either she will be returned to her owners or we will get her

I don't do real well looking at shelter sites or going to them (the tough old broad disappears in certain situations and I can't take them all home) but it is one of those things, once you save a life you have are responsible forever...sigh

8. Probably an 800 year old cactus. They are protected in Arizona or

they were when I lived in Tucson.

10. This one was probably 60 to 80 years old.

I doubt any saguaro is older than 200 years old.

11. You're correct. They survive to around 200 years. I was trying for humor.

12. If it was that old there would have been a walker.

3. Well here is the problem

The PCSD is investigating the wreck, which happened near North First Avenue and East Agave Drive at 9:30 a.m.

Nobody expects a saguaro to be on Agave Drive! I blame the city planners who misnamed the streets.

5. Damn bureaucrats!

7. And Jesus said (Acts 9:5) ..

"It is hard for thee to kick against the pricks .."

9. I wonder if the cactus was in a crosswalk.

Leviticus 6:66 "Get out of the way."
