Good morning. Want some diversity to go with that coffee?

It's June and the "Meloneros" are here. Of course, not long after their arrival, we started seeing more of those "mysterious" arson fires, as we do every single year. It's not likely a coincidence, but for some idiotic reason, "pattern recognition" has been deemed as offensive and racist. As always, the truth hurts. But keep telling yourselves, "Diversity is our greatest strength." Keep believing those Globalist lies. It will be your undoing.

Governor declares Monsoon Awareness Week

Hey Ducey, give all the warnings you want, you'll never fix stupid... With June 9-14 officially proclaimed Monsoon Awareness Week by Governor Doug Ducey, now is the perfect time to brush up on the actions drivers can take to stay safest when confronted with blowing dust.

The No. 1 thing motorists can do to stay out of harm’s way? Do. Not. Drive. Into. A. Dust. Storm. That’s a really bad idea. Visibility can drop to zero and turn pitch black, meaning you’re driving blind and so is anyone else on the road with you. But maybe you’re curious and wonder, “Just how dark and dangerous could it be?” InMaricopa

For those of you who don't heed the warnings, I'll be out in the field, armed with my camera, looking for instances of stupidity. The flooding of the Vekol Wash in Hidden Valley has served as a prime venue to observe "stupid motorists" and Hidden Valley residents may want to get a front row seat and watch, once the rains let up. It's better than a movie and cheaper, too.

Hal Holbrook: "I got a feeling about political correctness. I hate it. It causes us to lie silently instead of saying what we think." So, quit living a lie!

Tropical Storm Rosa and the Upside-Down Truck Guy

As Hurricane Rosa downgraded to a Tropical Storm, heavy rain moved into Arizona, prompting Flash Flood Warnings and creating dangerous conditions on roadways. After receiving nearly 3.5" of rain, Hidden Valley was ready to float away. Of course, motorists were doing their thing... getting stuck in flood waters and mud, while failing to exercise common sense.

Vekol Floods Hidden Valley, Golf Course

This week’s damage caused by flash flooding in Hidden Valley, specifically through Vekol Wash, is still being determined. Flowing water blocked some roads and destroyed others. Land, homes and outbuildings were damaged. Ralston Road, Amarillo Valley Road and Louis Johnson Road all had sections washed out. InMaricopa

During my photo safaris, I came across an interesting gentleman, who is a welder, by trade. His Ford F-150 pick up ended up in the Vekol Wash at Ralston Rd. The truck was upside-down and the water was rising. To my astonishment, the "Upside-down Truck Guy" appeared and was checking out the damage to his vehicle. The truck was a total loss. 

Three days later, the "Upside-down Truck Guy" was spotted in the Vekol Wash, where he recovered his missing electric welder,which was carried approximately 150 yards, downstream. Meanwhile. the Pinal County Sheriff's Office was forced to put deputies on the various local washes to babysit, because so many people insisted upon ignoring the barricades and "Road Closed" signs. And you wonder why Arizona had to pass a "Stupid Motorist Law?"

The "stupid-motorist law" is a law in the U.S. state of Arizona that states that any motorist who becomes stranded after driving around barricades to enter a flooded stretch of roadway may be charged for the cost of their rescue. The law corresponds to section 28-910 of the Arizona Revised Statutes. More 

The "stupid motorist law" is not chargeable, a motorist must commit at least one other violation to get the fine. This is why only a handful of cases have actually been prosecuted even though the law went into effect about 22 years ago. 12News

Michael and Tina Careccia update:

Careccia case remanded back to grand jury

Florence, AZ: A status review in the case was held on Tuesday at the Pinal County Superior Courthouse. Valenzuela’s attorney, Public Defender James Mannato, argued the case – in which the state seeks the death penalty – should be remanded back to the grand jury due to misleading testimony in the initial grand jury proceedings on July 8, 2015.

Mannato said the state almost always argues against such a motion; however, prosecutor Chris Ward of the Pinal County Attorney’s Office told Judge Kevin White the state voluntarily agreed to remand the case back to a new grand jury. Maricopa Monitor

Meanwhile, we continue to experience vandalism, thievery and other assorted Ditch Cricket shenanigans in the Thunderbird Farms area, following the departure of our winter visitors, from up north. While enjoying the outdoors and my photography hobby, we hooked an alleged wire thief. This subject made little or no attempt to conceal his activities. Theft, arson and vandalism have plagued my neighborhood, for a ling time.

In the end, the wannabe thug and her gang were "no shows"

Memorial Day Food Bank Chaos: Once again, the ugly face of humanity presented itself at the F.O.R. Food Bank. What a wonderful way to celebrate Memorial Day. At approximately 8:40 am, a black female subject (5'5" 155 lbs. colorful dew rag & large sunglasses) cut her way to the front of the line, while threatening and intimidating several elderly/disabled senior citizens, who were at the head of the line and had been, since 6:00 am.

Soon, she started spewing profanities and some nonsense about being disrespected. A couple of patrons were so scared that they were going to leave, without receiving their food. This behavior is completely unacceptable and intolerable. Our needy seniors should be able to go the food bank, without being threatened and pushed around.

Unfortunately, the food bank volunteers refused to open the door or call the police. I don't blame the volunteers, as most of them are women and/or elderly, too. I'm sure breaking up fights is not part of their duties, as food bank volunteers. During this black female's outburst, she made threats of violence and indicated that she was going to bring some "gang" that had a three letter name. She made it clear that they would be there next Monday and that nobody gets away with telling her to take her rightful place in line. Repeat after me, “Diversity is our strength.”

The newly installed "no weapons" sign, on the front of the building, was surely noted by these sorted miscreants. As you know, this was not the first incident at the food bank. A while back, I started bringing a camera to record fights, outbursts of violence and other uncivil and possibly criminal behavior, but was warned by F.O.R. Director Wendy Webb to NOT bring my camera. Photographers frequently come under fire for documenting filth and evil.

Apparently, somebody didn't like some of the stills or video I shot and I was the one suddenly taking heat. After all, recording criminal behavior is bad for "PR," despite it value as evidence. Maricopa deserves a public black eye. It's extremely clear to me that Maricopans aren't capable of getting in line to wait for something, without turning into animals.
