We passed by the Flagstaff Brewing Company on Route 66 while in the area for the day. My wife, being French-Canadian, had noticed that they had poutine on the menu. Being far from home, she hadn't tried this in a long time, and wanted to do a taste-test to see if it was anything like the real thing. However, she did find it amusing that the waiter couldn't correctly pronounce the dish.

We spent the day in Sedona this past Sunday, and even though we were just here about a month prior, it seemed like so much time had passed. Probably because of the dramatic temperature change. During our vacation over a month ago, the temperature was very moderate during both the daytime and night. During that month, the weather in Phoenix kept rising drastically.

A Scoutmaster was teaching his boy scouts about survival in the desert.

"What are the three most important things you should bring with you in case you get lost in the desert?" he asked. Several hands went up, and many important things were suggested such as food, matches, etc.

Then one little boy in the back eagerly raised his hand. "Yes, Timmy, what are the three most important things you would bring with you?" asked the Scoutmaster.

Timmy replied: "A compass, a canteen of water, and a deck of cards."

"Why's that Timmy?"

"Well," answered Timmy, "the compass is to find the right direction, the water is to prevent dehydration..."

"And what about the deck of cards?" asked the Scoutmaster impatiently.

"Well, Sir, as soon as you start playing Solitaire, someone is bound to come up behind you and say, 'Put that red nine on top of that black ten!'"
