Jose's Cafe, not easily seen from the main road, (we were driving through the complex and just noticed it) doesn't seem to be your typical restaurant in Sedona that's hyped all over the place. It's a very down-to-earth restaurant that you'd find anywhere else.

The southern Arizona border is an extreme desert climate, yet one of the most popular places for people to cross into the United States illegally. The Border Patrol began counting immigrant deaths back in 1998, and has this past year reported a record-breaking 172 for the fiscal year ending September 30th.

A couple of guys were fishing at their special pond off the beaten track when out of the bushes jumped the Game Warden.

Immediately, one of the boys threw his rod down and started running through the woods, and hot on his heels came the Game Warden.

With that, the fella pulled out his wallet and gave the Game Warden a valid fishing license.

"Well, son," said the Game Warden, "you must be about as dumb as a box of rocks! You don't have to run from me if you have a valid license!"

"Yes, sir," replied the young feller, "But my friend back there, well, he don't have one ..."
