A Tale of Two Fourths


Mighty Christian of these two groups in Arizona to inform each other of where they can be found. On the other hand, tailor-made for a False Flag on the Fourth Fornication Fiesta brought to all by our puppet masters.

    Good day to stay home and polish the silverware.

      Especially should you happen to reside in Highland Park.

    I lived in Tucson for about 18 years before moving to the White Mountains of AZ. I have many friends still there and there are tons of really good people there. As it happens, and I believe mostly due to the U of A, there is also a surfeit of leftist elites who so obviously know so much better than the rest of us how everything should be done. Ironically, they accuse those with whom they disagree as being narcissistic no-nothings whose mental state disqualifies them from having a reasonable or defensible opinion. I stopped going to parties where this sort might turn up just to keep from getting worked up. The first event will clearly be one of that sort.

    Flags are out today. To be exact, 13s flags in size of 5″ X 7″ are posted in my front yard. Remembering one soldier, one sailor and 11 Marines.

    Gun range yesterday with my son. Our crew will cook out with Mom this afternoon. Happy 4th to all at AD!

    Our flag flys every day. Replaced yearly about this time. We have a pile of weathered red white and blue flags on the shelf. Nothing wrong with em, just weather checked. They’ve served the Williams Family well.

    We’ll continue to store em, for some reason burning them just doesn’t seem like a fitting ending.

    HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY TO ALL. Please take the time to reflection exactly this special day represents. Our nation was born on this day.

    Never have so many, tried so hard, to disrespect such a great nation. As we have for thirty something years we shall attend our local parade, to honor this nation, the men the women who stood tall for her.

    God I Love This Country!

    Flags out. Grandkid’s bicycles decorated, dog with red-white-and blue, candy, hot dogs, ice cream and ready for the Homeowner’s Association Annual 4th of July parade. Lots of America in my neighborhood and proud of it.

    @Rob Muir

    My family vacationed in the White Mountains in a cabin a few miles outside of Pinetop for a few years starting at the end of the Jurassic epoch and ending in the transitional Pre Cretaceous period (OK, I exaggerate, it was 1960-1965)

    I’ve only gone back there once, briefly in the ensuing years, so update me on a few things. We were members of the White Mountain Country Club; do all the Scottsdale snob elites still hob nob there in the summer? And what about Mc Nary; is that still a vital center of East Arizona commerce?* And is the drive thru the Salt River Canyon still as boring as it ever was

    *(This a trick question, as Mc Nary was already an uninhabited ghost town when I drove thru it 40 years ago)

      “…And what about Mc Nary; is that still a vital center of East Arizona commerce?*…”

      Mrs. azlib and I have a small patch of land in Greer, AZ, and our drive that direction takes us through McNary*. Yes, it is still everything that you remember….nothing has changed there. Not one little thing.

      * In all seriousness, McNary is a small town of about 500 on the Fort Apache Indian Reservation. There is little there other than a church, the denomination of which changes every so often depending on which church is willing to plant a mission there. In many ‘Rez towns in the west, problems….drugs, crime, lack of jobs, etc….abound. In 2022, there are still places on ‘Rez’ that don’t have running water and people still venture out back to the outhouse.

      The good news for McNary is that they are about 3 miles east of the Hon-Dah Casino. The tribes used to make their money by selling cigarettes to the white man, but now that few of us smoke, making money through gambling seems to be a better way for them.

    My wife installed 2 large patriot stars flanking the front door about a week ago and for the past few days wrens have been trying to build a nest behind one of them. The nesting material keeps falling to the floor. Silly wrens. Today all guns on the compound will be woken from their brief siestas to make sure they do what they are supposed to. This evening my legendary Raging Patriot Burgers hit the fire and will be accompanied by deviled egg potato salad, cole slaw, chuck wagon baked beans, gallons of sweet tee and if there is any room left, Key Lime pie. If you’re up to it, stop by.

    Lennie, I find the Salt River Valley quite beautiful. But I’m still new to Arizona. I live in Mesa, a suburb of Phoenix, most of whose residents never go west to the city. Mesa is a big town of 550,000, and will soon pass Tucson to be the second biggest in the state. Mesa is most definitely not a city even though Albuquerque, Atlanta, Minneapolis and Lubbock have fewer residents.

    We had a parade here in our park. Mesa has hundreds of parks. Most are mobile homes, some are camper parks, some are both. Ours is medium-sized at about 350 units. Many of our residents are up north now, the snowbirds. But we had three golf carts, three bicycles, two SUVs and me, pulling a wagon with two dogs in it.

    It was hot. That happens here in July. By the halfway point folks were watching me with concern and asking if I needed water. Eventually I was handed an ice-cold bottle and told to drink. I was asked why I didn’t wear shorts. The reason is, I wear compression socks now. And I refuse to be that guy.

    Arizona is a bunch of rugged individualists, along with the commies. We have fireworks laws that are utterly paternalistic: nothing that leaves the ground. No rockets or Roman candles for AZ! And those laws are enforced, too: Mesa police bragged yesterday they had busted two dangerous sellers of illegal fireworks, and would not hesitate to bust any homeowners who loft a cannon shell or two.

    I suppose fire danger has something to do with the laws. The Mesa PD warn us that fireworks are dangerous and can hurt you, mkay.

      … I live in Mesa….

      I’m in the East Valley too. With the exception of my 3 year assignment to the Philippines in the mid-80s, I’ve been here since 1980.

      It makes me sound like an old woman complaining about her aches, but I’ve got a leg with a varicose vein problem and I ought to wear my compression socks more than I do. But I don’t worry about wearing long pants or especially long sleeves this time of year. Every six months I go into my dermatologist where he cuts off some suspicious something or somethings and I help him pay for his kids’ braces or wife’s car payment or whatever. My kids got me a nice new big-brimmed hat for Father’s Day. I find that loose, light and synthetic fabrics work best for me. Its OK to stay covered up.

      And you’re right: The list of good reasons for me to go west into Phoenix or Scottsdale or even Tempe is pretty short.

      ” I wear compression socks now. And I refuse to be that guy.”

      A noble and resolute goal. I too refuse to be that guy.

    Minnesota, from whence, also has restrictive fireworks laws. But Minnesota is bordered by North and South Dakota and Wisconsin, where the law is simply, how much money you got? The stuff they sell with instructions “Light fuse and get away,” well, you had best get a good distance away.

    As I type this north Minneapolis, a Vibrant ™ neighborhood, has about 600 households each of which spent about $800 on gunpowder, chemicals and paper. It is nearly continuous explosions and smoke wafts through the trees. As it gets dark, it will look and sound like an urban battleground with flashing bangs and fires in the gutters. I really don’t miss it.
