Bunch of smart folks here - I'm looking for somebody with the technical know-how to find and operate the dimmer switch on the sun over the valley. Might include Texas on your to-do list as well. Thanks in advance.

Thank you for the welcome, citizen6511.
I know the Superstitions very well, we used to trail ride and camp out up there. Then we moved to the high country and I swore wild horses would never drag me back down to the valley. Unfortunately my oath didn't include the stubborn mule I was married to.
Were you stationed at Williams AFB? I had friends based there back in the late 60s.
yes, i was on williams afb for over three years.
once i heard that the contractor mowing the lawns on the base was complaining about the base having too many baby palm trees, which made the mowing difficult.(the palm trees were multiplying)
and they were planing on killing all the baby palm trees!
i went to headquarters and pointed out that to landscape companies these little trees had value, and if the usaf would give them to me, i could sell them.
3 days later, they called me in and said the air force had looked into what i said.
they would not give me the trees, but would sell them and not to worry, they would not kill my baby palm trees.
it was my first rescue, as a northerner, i loved those palm trees.edit on 18-9-2011 by citizen6511 because: ok

What part of the north are you from, Citizen? I'm originally from Minnesota and I'd gladly trade you a few palms for some PINE trees in my back yard!! Someday I'll go back to the frozen tundra.
We used to tube down the Verde and Salt rivers with a couple of guys who were stationed at Williams. Ah, the good old days.
