It begins. Fry s Food Stores will now ask their employees for their papers if they want to work without a mask. How long until Fry s ask customers? Will other corporations and businesses now follow Fry s? We need employee protection added to HB 2190, vaccine passport ban bill, and for it to pass through the Legislature. Call Sen TJ Shope, 602-926-3012, and email him tshope@azleg.gov to demand this. Call Sen Paul Boyer, 602-926-4173, and email him pboyer@azleg.gov to demand this.

You never know when a visit with an ailing old friend will be the last. And so it was on Monday. I received a text from home: We’re out of printer ink. I was out living some life offline out of the house after last week’s historic winter storm had cooped us up anyway, so a stop by my favorite electronics store was easy to work into a schedule I wasn’t even following.
I walked in through the giant piano door, by which I mean the store’s theme was music and its doorway was a gigantic piano. In its heyday, the store had an accomplished artist playing on a grand piano on weekends. You never knew what you’d hear in there Beethoven or the Beatles. It was fun. You could grab a coffee in the café and sidle over to look at giant TVs while your wife checked out music or items for the house and your kids checked out the latest toys or video games. They had one of the largest print magazine racks anywhere.
