1. So the highway decided to become a blonde?

I hope that the patient didn't suffer a serious injury and the hazard can be cleared quickly.

2. Is that what all the sirens were?

Think a helicopter just went by too. About 4 we heard what we thought were about 6 or 7 gun shots, still don't know what the hell that was. Around 5 a deputy calls to say a calf had been hit on Sybil Road, but it got up and walked away. Busy afternoon! I am supposed to go housesit in Tempe in the morning, but I am going to have to look around for it. Some asshole hit it and didn't report it. Another driver saw it and called the Sheriff and the deputy got there in time to see it get up and walk away.

4. you have to be very careful on Sybil road

and on Cascabel Highway too... many herds of cattle roam on the open range there and if you come around a curve too fast or pop over a hill... oops. Then at dusk you have to be careful of the deer.

7. And some of them are ours.

From I-10 to just a little south of the railroad tracks. County "paved" the whole thing now, do you know that? The did "our" section first. They have a grant program to help with fencing on never-fenced, paved county roads but when I applied a few years ago they told me it was chip sealed and not paved.

5. Isn't Sybil Road the western edge of your ranch?

6. It runs through one of the larger pastures. (Sybil Pasture, durrrr LOL)

The western boundary is in those "badland" dirt breaks west of Sybil, the hill you climb coming east out of Benson.

8. For those reading along, isn't Sybil pasture six miles from your home?
