The weather in Tucson has been weird lately. Normally, we get the usual summer monsoon season and then some rain at the end of the year. I am not sure what the rainfall average has been over this last year, but it seems much wetter.
This isn't a complaint, we need the rain! It was funny to hear the neighborhood kids scream about getting a "snowball". The hail covered my yard and car, it sort of looked like snow. My mom requested photos when I called to check if she had any hail on the westside.
The Catalina mountains are covered in snow right now. After the hail and rain, the sun came out. The rainbow that was in the sky was amazing! Seeing a rainbow, automatically puts me in a good mood.
Quick reminder: Arizona is part of the Super Tuesday primary. Please vote! Online information should be available for each county. In Pima county, polls will be open from 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Lastly, please be aware of your polling place; mine changed (to a closer location). Thanks!

Busy in Arizona with the Superbowl and Gem Show!
It is a busy weekend for Arizona!
Right now, people are getting ready for the Super Bowl in Glendale. I haven't been in the new stadium, but I have been told that it is pretty nice. Not sure what I am going to bring to the party today. The party hostess is a salsa queen, so I will leave mine at home. I really don't know who will win. I hope that it is a close game.
Yesterday, the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show started and will continue until the 17th. The Gem Show is very interesting and it has a lot of items for all kinds of budgets. Many vendors come from all over the world. Pace yourself when you go, because it can get overwhelming. Also, another tip is to pick what type of items you are looking for and go to that "area"/hotel where they might be. We went to a hotel that had mostly fossils last time, and I enjoyed spending most of the day there.
