One of the small cities south of Tucson Arizona, Amado, has a very small pond, right along highway 19, also known as the Nogales Highway.

The Great Horned Owls that live in the palm trees right above our RV have returned and brought with them a pair of fledglings.

Tucson, like other communities in the southwest, has satanistic, witch, and other occult groups. Needless to say, animal-rights and other groups are up in arms. Then—and here's the grisly part—the assailant cut the sheep's head off. It has not been found. Police officers speculate that the killing was cult related.

Things had just started to settle down a bit, now that we had parked the RV in Tucson. We left Tucson on Monday, and drove to Alpine, Texas for our first night. There better be at least 30” was that number she threw out at me, as we were driving away from Tucson. This bird was sitting right out in the sun when I first found it.
