Adventure 956: Tucson Slathering/69

In our last days here we've been slathering ourselves with as much Tucson as we can. We hiked a last hike. We enjoyed a fabulous dinner at Tito and Pep's. We shared a burger at a new place, Redbird. We protested with thousands of our fellow rabble rousers. Judy paid off last month's cribbage debt at Barrio Barista where we enjoyed hot coffee and a nice breakfast burrito. We took in an Arizona Women's softball game, and we spent a nice evening watching hoops with our friends, Krals. Tucson feels  like home now, but truth be told we're ready for the trek back to the Northwest. In so many more ways than we can count, life is good, especially today. 

Sadly, the home team lost in the last inning. Quite impressive women on both teams.

Arizona is ranked 13th; Oklahoma State 16th. Good game.

One of the sights at the protest. WARNING: POEM OF THE DAY IS FOR MATURE AUDIENCES.

STAR*

Just

as He said

He would-

On day one

He grabbed

our nation

by the pussy 

because

“When You’re a STAR they let You.”

He thrust His greedy fingers inside:

some of the pussies cried, 

some of the pussies bowed,

some of the pussies cowed,

some of the pussies complied,

But none of the pussies pried

His fingers away 

because 

“When You’re a STAR they let You.”

His fingering squirted 

a mess all over the place.

But late at night He crowed,

"I think the pussies like it."

We're all monkeys in this circus. My favorite signs read: WE SHALL OVER COMB & WHEN THE POOR RUN OUT OF FOOD, THEY'LL JUST EAT THE RICH.

Really? Our Vice-President.

The entrance to the softball stadium.

We split a quite delicious classic Redbird burger, which was suggested by friends.

The Wiley Cager won this game. New month. New leader.

A little port to finish complement the desert cake. As pleasing as my very cute date.

The Olive Oil cake infused with orange essence.

We shared a boneless chicken grilled over mesquite. Out standing.

We loved this beet salad on our last visit, so we enjoyed a reprise.

And for starters, this raw tuna dressed in a jalapeño strawberry sauce. Needless to say, our indulgence left of satisfied.
