My parents called me Max because they thought it fits well with my surname. I'm happy with that and it's served me well so far. I live in the UK with my wife and we enjoy long trips to sunny and warm places in the US. Our favourite place is Tucson.

I don't blame her, who would want to come back to the UK? It's sinking fast!

I've been to 7 as well as Tucson, the place I've visited most frequently (and will be visiting again in 3 weeks). I live in the UK.

Come on Starmer, grow a backbone and sack him!

Barrel cactus bloom, Tucson, Arizona.

Probably, yes - but I think Trump is a master at saying things like this to hoodwink the "victim" into co-operating with him.

Only 10, but I do live in ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง.
Making repeat visits to Phoenix and Tucson in August.

Gone for some California grass?

Here in the UK we have a large chain of pubs called Wetherspoons. They're well known for rest rooms often in the basement, often a very long walk from the bar areas. The beer's cheap though!

I wish he could nominate someone to try to do the same with Royal Mail here in the UK. Its service has deteriorated beyond belief whilst the cost of using it has escalated and it's no longer fit for purpose.

We discovered this enchanting place a few years ago and it is always the first place we visit when arriving in Patagonia. Unfortunately only about once a year but we were fortunate to be there 4 weeks ago.

I don't disagree, but doesn't it also at least partly depend on the images available to a news organisation to include in their report?

I saw a similar Airstream being towed up Mount Lemmon this morning, but with a white pickup. I'm not an Airstream expert or sure if it was as old as 1967, but it certainly wasn't a recent model.

Walking in Saguaro NP this morning. It's so refreshing to be back in Tucson again for a couple of weeks.

Where I live Royal Mail fail to deliver many items altogether. They're useless.

He can't, he desperately needs every grandstanding opportunity he can get.

Nice picture. We saw this little fella in Joshua Tree NP a while back.

They certainly are, here's one I took on a '23 road trip to Tucson.

Looks to me that the expert was right, but I live in the UK and perhaps our marigolds look different to those in Arizona?

Yes Allan, I've heard it is similar to here. That's why we like our overseas travel to warmer sunny climes. Next trip 3rd January to Canary Islands, can't wait. Then hopefully Arizona April or May.

Hello Allan from the UK. I know what you mean with wind, we have a storm across the whole country today with gusts of 68mph this afternoon and most of tomorrow plus heavy rain. Midday temperature is 45F.
I dislike living here at times but I guess most places have their own weather problems.

Thankfully Johnson is a political has-been who doesn't count any more.

Boris Johnson is a political has-been. Many of us do not care what he says.
