Gilbert and Carefree, which she mentions, are up in the Phoenix area, but Cochise Stronghold is right across the playa from us, here in Cochise County. I wonder where they are staying. Friends of another Michigan friend are going to be here in Cochise County the first week in February, and since they are avid birders, I'm guessing they may be staying in Portal. But they have already seen the elusive elegant trogon up in Green Valley. That is the holy grail of SE Arizona birders.<br /><br />We listen to NPR every day, and I look at all the sites you mention online, plus NY Times, BBC, Reuters, and, yes, Fox. It is interesting to see not only what is covered but what is not covered. And when an event cannot be ignored, HOW it gets covered can be monumentally different from one news source to the next. Someone else who questions opponents about their own sources says they often tell him, "Do your own research," which I guess means anyone can hunt down conspiracy theories. To me it's important that not only the news media says Biden won the election but the election officials, state governors, and courts where lawsuits were filed. But there is massive and serious denial that runs horribly deep. Such damage! Yes, it is going to be very, very hard to get past the lies, as no one wants to admit, even to themselves, that they were duped,P. J.

But it will be hard. Where do I...I have hope too. But it will be hard. Where do I get MY news? NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, NPR. All of those have said pretty much the same thing. The election was not rigged. Trump lost. Trump tried to sway officials. Trump lied. So that is what I believe, because it came from multiple sources.Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00824027366993286152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130421352415377273.post-59590946840959794932021-01-24T17:07:46.544-08:002021-01-24T17:07:46.544-08:00I haven't read this post yet, but wanted to te...I haven't read this post yet, but wanted to tell you that another blogger that I read travels around the SW doing art fairs. She does fine art photography. She's in your area now and I thought you'd like to see her photos. Here's her URL: https://talesfromthebackroad.com/catching-up-with-arizona/ Her name is Mary. I think she may have been hiking very near where you hike.Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00824027366993286152noreply@blogger.com
