Frozen Cactus

This is sad. Last week the night time temperatures were in the high teens. All over Tucson we are seeing this. This is an old prickly pear cactus. When it got so cold they froze, and the heavier arms broke off. Along the freeway there's a long row of them with bits on the ground. It's sad, it'll take years for them to regrow.


So, I'm feeling better, still coughing, but better. I think tomorrow Jim and I may try a flat, slow, 10 mile ride out at Fantasy Island. If I don't get some exercise soon, there's going to be trouble.
