Cheeky .5,
I do love AZ, as I was born in Cochise County in a little town called Bisbee in the Copper Queen Hospital.

My grandfather was Blackfoot and the only jobs available for them were in the copper mines in that town. He worked in the lavendar pit in fire control, setting up the dynomite for the charges.

As a boy, he took me many times to the bars along brewry gulch. He gave me a number of mineral and copper specimens which today I charish.

I to this day, love the desert. It's a place where you learn to respect nature. If you don't, you will die. Same with surfing...
