Ok, this is a true story, I can't make this stuff up! And of course...only in Arizona! Let me set the scene. There is an older lady who used to work for us and a year ago she had been laid off, and still hasn't found a new job. She is just the nicest lady and VERY religous (Catholic) and her husband is Hispanic and quite a bit younger than her. Every once in awhile she will stop by the office to say "hi" to us. Well she stopped by today and she wanted to share her happy news...
Lindsey: Hi Diane, I just wanted to come by and tell you my happy news!
Me: (thinking she was about to tell me she got a job) What??
Lindsey: MY HUSBAND IS COMING BACK!
Me: Oh, that's great! I didn't know he was gone.
Lindsey: Yes, he's been in Mexico since August and he wanted me to move down there but instead he decided to come home.
Me: Well, that's great to hear!
Lindsey: And my Dad died on September 1st.
Me: Oh Lindsey, I am so sorry to hear that! Are you doing okay?
Lindsey: Yes, I'm fine. I cried for 5 days and then decided my Dad wouldn't want me to do that!
Me: Yes, that is probably true.
Lindsey: Also, I was laid off a year ago and I know I couldn't come back for a year and now my year is up can you hire me back?
Me: I'm sorry Lindsey, but we have a freeze on hiring at this time but we will definitely keep you in mind!
Lindsey: Thanks! I'm working now at XYZ (can't remember the name) but that is not where my heart is. My heart is here! And now that my husband is returning...
Me: I still didn't realize he had left.
Lindsey: Oh yes, he was deported.
Me: OH, I had no idea...well...then...how...is he getting back???
Lindsey: Oh, he's crossing the desert. (said very matter of fact)
Me: Wow!
Lindsey: Oh, he's in good shape! Besides, its not that hot out there now!
Me: Well, good luck with that!
The End.

Who Ya Gonna Call?
So, a couple of weeks ago on my way to work I noticed this weird looking white vehicle with a plume of white smoke coming out of the back of it. It looked like an old hearse but it had a bunch of junk on the roof, including a big white looking satellite dish. I also noticed on the back there was some sort of insignia. Of course I had to get a better look! At first I thought it was one of those storm chasing vehicles, since this was just couple of days after they had those tornadoes up in Flagstaff. As I started getting closer the vehicle then started exiting but not before I saw the Ghostbusters insignia on the back and not before I was able to snap this quick pictures with my camera! Not too bad of a picture going 65mph on the freeway! Boy, do you really see a bunch of weird stuff sometimes!

When I got to work I looked them up on the internet and sure enough. Here is what I found:
