Sorry, should be more proactive. Thats how it goes in a lazy towne like Tucson...

The Gemshow got it's 1.5 days of rain, as is traditional. The quality of driving hasn't suffered as much as in years past, but then the authorities clamped down on the speed limits around the show(s) so that may have helped.

Tanias"33": a fine little resturaunt on the West Side, on Grande. The decor is monochromatic-converted-autoshop but the food is great. one tip: DO NOT ASK THE OWNER ANY QUESTIONS. Don't get me wrong: he's a SUPER friendly guy, but he also gets a little overboard in the "I haz a menu scheme...let me showz it to you!" mode. Just decide what you want, tell the man, and enjoy your good food. Unless you're lonely: in that case, ask him to explain the A,B, and C options for Burritos and let him explain the sizes offered when he comes up for air.

It being Valentines Day, the House of Pies travelled to Ghandi's for dinner (its a tradition: if it happens to be a holiday, head to Ghandi's). You can tell its going to be a big night when they have white guys working there. And the food? I tried Rogan Josh for the first time- -tasty goodness!

now off to batten down the hatches: the wind is picking up (we gusted to 75mph on Kitt today!) and we're expecting rain tomorrow.

I really do like this towne.
