Arizona was not expected to put on a big show during yesterday's eclipse. And it didn't. I stood in a parking lot with friends taking turns trading glasses to catch a peek of the moon's pass in front of the sun.

I'd like to say wisdom comes through some sort of deep exercise. Nah, truth is, on the surface of the sun lifting a martini glass can cause one to break into a sweat. What's a girl to do?

It's a Compass kind of summer. Jeep, that is. You can't possible think we're in the woods searching for moss on trees. Pfft. The very day that Big Al, our favorite car dealer says, “Hey take a look at the 2017 Jeep Compass," I see four of them cruising about The Dale.
