Bill Shaneyfelt commented on a photo in In Tucson: a hike in Soldier’s Canyon

Good old cockleburrs! Inspiration for velcro.

Good heavens, it’s Mr Grampie! How are you doing?

I was really happy she picked this up. We’ll have to take a team selfie, I with my nearly matching orange shirt from Nanaimo.

Oh, wonderful. So you’re a lyricist too. One more reason we should be tossing you in the panniers. GBO would be so excited!

As usual, adversity makes for good reading! I quite "enjoyed" your account of the traffic hazards one has to be aware of when cycling. Actually, it probably isn't even comprehensive - as shown by the new one added in this post.

I dropped the Google man somewhere on Highway 88, and yikes, I really see what you mean. Good move getting out of there!

Yeah, lack of red is what kept me going on and on. Neat to find aberrant coloration!

I think that’s probably right. It can’t be an adult because it’s bill hasn’t turned yet. Surprising to see one with so few hints of red though.

Apple cactus! I’d never heard of it. I see that it comes from South America, so maybe it’s just an ornamental here.
