Re: “Arizona Softball Ranked Seventh in Preseason Polls”
Oregon at #25 is a mistake. The Ducks have a new head coach and just about all of the top players left the team, when Mike White left to coach at Texas. There have been a series of articles in the Oregon newspapers that detail the deterioration of the Oregon softball program. No way is a #25 ranking correct.

There is no middle with tRump's idiotic governance. The only solution is to lop off his head.
Re: “Interstate 10: A Personal History”
This is the 2nd time I've read Tom Zoellner. The first was a book about that shooting at the Safeway on the SE corner of Ina and Oracle Roads Gabby Giffords. Mr. Zoellner is a true wordsmith. Captivating writing rhythm that is easy to read.
The memories brought back about the I-10 stretch between El Kapital and the Old Pueblo are a mixed bag. I had to make this trip once a month, when I worked for the University of Arizona Alumni Association and went to the Phoenix Alumni Club night meetings. That requirement was one of the reasons I quit that job after a couple of years.
Now, when my wife and I drive to Tucson from Oregon's Willamette Valley for part of the winter, we merge onto I-10 from I-8. We avoid driving through El Kapital due to the always present traffic jams. On I-8, ten to fifteen miles east of that intersection, we can see the distant outline of the Catalina Mtns. That always delights. Almost back home: TUCSON!
Reading this memory was wonderful. Thanks, Mr. Zoellner.
Re: “Columnist Clapback”
First, Hugo Montenegro, identify yourself. A real photo of yourself. I'm not responding to an anonymous troll, like you. That is a real photo of myself. My name is really Ricardo Small. You can find me on Facebook with public details about myself. Who are YOU really?
Re: “Columnist Clapback”
Sadly there is no subscription with the Tucson Weekly to cancel for publishing Hoffman's screed, like I did with when the Arizona Daily Star started published his crap. Don't get me wrong. I do NOT believe in censorship at all. Hoffman certainly is welcome to have his crap printed or shown on the 'Net. It's just that I won't ever pay a publication that publishes Hoffman's far right idiocy. Hoffman's opinions are as wrong as flat earthers. Factual information about our round earth does not deserve equal exposure as the superstitious flat earthers. That's just like Hoffman vs Danehy, pretend flat earth vs factual round earth.
Re: “Danehy”
JCC, you make a great point about newspapers and are certainly welcome to keep paying ADS via a subscription. I won't ever again, because Hoffman represents a highly objectionable viewpoint that is grossly mistaken and does serious damage to our society. Giving him space in my home town's daily paper is an abhorrent editorial policy that I will NOT help pay for. He can write his crap on s**t house walls, not in any paper I will subscribe to.
Re: “Danehy”
Yes, you did, Hoffman. You wrote that desert bighorn sheep survived fine around open pit copper mines.
