I've been at the airport for 5 hours now, waiting for enough crew to show up for my flight home...

Merry Christmas, all. I'm in Flagstaff, where we had a nice chill Christmas with my dad's family.

Alta turned herself in to the police today. We're not sure exactly where she is or what's going to happen, but she's definitely safer not being a runaway and it's a relief to at least have some closure.

Yes, that's great.

We're back in Phoenix, so Teo if we've ever wanted to make Arizona in-jokes together, now's our chance. Except they must be superficial enough for me to catch, having never been here before November.

How 'bout them giant cacti?

Amadea and the twins are actually both in Phoenix but separately. It's complicated. Travel logistics have been crazy with this weather.

I remember my first trip to Arizona as an adult when I learned that cacti had bones.

They really make this area just hugely more interesting than west Texas, imo. Also I find it wild how intrinsically anthropomorphilizable they are.

Whenever I find myself crossing the border into Arizona I ask myself "Am I still enchanted?" and the answer is no.

I just read through a year's worth of coverage of Arizona water issues, so if anyone else wants to be more depressed: https://www.azcentral.com/in-depth/news/local/arizona-environment/2019/12/05/biggest-water-users-arizona-farms-keep-drilling-deeper/3937582002/

(The stories are all from 2019, so if anyone wants to tell me that the situation has gotten better, I'm all ears!)

25: As an apology for leaving the state, you must now watch the Holiday special in the OP.

Or someone needs to. I don't need everyone to. Just one other person who will then show up and validate how great it is.

I can't watch now. I'm watching Alfred Molina play a Canadian.

English by birth, Spanish and Italian parents, American citizen. But he can play a Canadian as naturally as he can get spiked in the head after betraying Harrison Ford.

Why would you get out of the car to get away from a bear? The car works. Let them reverse away from the bear while staying in the car.

Technically, having a bear show up to resolve a plot hole is Shakespearean. I guess.
