What is going on with the saguaros in AZ?
In Arizona, we saw lots of saguaro cactuses (i know, it's really cacti). It was kind of mesmerizing, watching them, and by the time i decided i needed pictures, there just weren't anymore to be seen. Andy wouldn't turn around so I was all, "fine. i'll draw one on my super cool iPad."
And then about 20 miles later there were more. Lots more.
An awful lot of them look sickly. Or maybe they've been gnawed on by chupacabras (chupacabri?) You be the judge.

ReplyDeleteafter all, what'd we listen to that cd for, right? but, he might not have thought it was funny. those border patrol guys don't have much of a sense of humor.
