Nanners! You did find me, didn't you? Yippee!!! :)— November 2, 2009 7:16 p.m.

Hmmmm, so we're driving to a spiritual mecca/energy vortex and listening to a giggling, porny-sounding female do a nonsinging, talky vocal that uses the F word. <rolls eyes> Magnify that "uh,no" in 22 by about 1000, and that still wouldn't get it. I'm sure it's considered high art in the garage, though. :/— November 2, 2009 6:02 p.m.
Stepping Out After Midnight...In Vista Ranch
Re #5: My apartment complex is a pretty safe little enclave, with fences all around, good lighting and a night watchman. However, the surrounding neighborhood has lots of Hispanic gang activity. DP was invented in Waco, Texas. The plant is in Dallas. http://www.drpeppermuseum.com/Visit-Us.aspx— November 2, 2009 5:52 p.m.

Re #3: Didn't read the link, did ya? Whether it's diet stuff or not doesn't much matter. It's not JUST about sugar. Not by a longshot. But that Powerade stuff? Full of sugar. http://www.thedailyplate.com/nutrition-calories/f… 60 calories and 15 grams of sugar every 8 ounces. So, is that the 32-ounce bottle, then? 240/60. With 55 mg of caffeine in a 12-oz can, Mountain Dew blows Dr. Pepper's 39 mg away. But yeah, I can't drink DP in the evenings, or it will keep me up. Right now, my diet soda is A&W Diet Root Beer. No caffeine. Nutritionally, they all suck.— November 2, 2009 5:42 p.m.

Aw Joe, driving around in scenery like that, you've gotta have something heavily dramatic. I remember tooling through the mountians listening to Enigma a lot. Sometimes, Native American flute feels very appropriate. I met this guy once: http://www.herschelfreemanagency.com/cody/cody.ht… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jigc4XVQb50 Remember the Indian crying in the "Keep America Beautiful" ads? That was his dad (or stepdad, maybe), "Iron Eyes" Cody. Anything really soulful or intense is great music. A place to listen to stuff you might not normally listen to. Really adds to the unbelievable "video" you're seeing. Geez, I'm really missing AZ now. It's so calming, being up there.— November 2, 2009 3:44 p.m.

Re #13: Yes ma'am, that would be exactly it. Believe it, or not. :) That's part of what makes it so special up there, too. First, you've got this gobsmacking, unearthly beauty to contend with, perfect quiet and the purest air imaginable. Then, take off your shoes. You can feel the energy below your feet in the cool sand. Like some sort of electrical charge, with a hint of vibration. It's somethin' else.— November 2, 2009 3:33 p.m.

I knew somebody was going to ask about those colors. Those are the real deal, folks. It's pretty unbelievable. Reflection off the red rocks has a lot to do with it. The colors of the rocks themselves appear to change as the sun descends. The lower it gets, the more intense the red rocks become. Haven't been there since '98, Joe. If I go again, I'll have to go via a pricey Pink Jeep Tour (at least you're with other people, and know you'll make it back okay): http://www.pinkjeep.com/jeep-tours/sedona/scenic-… ...or rent a Jeep. My current vehicle wouldn't do it, I don't think. Not any more. Like I said, I felt the road was worse in '98 than it was in '96. No telling what condition it's in, in any given year. Sedona's incredible, though. My FAVORITE little Arizona town is Prescott, right down the road. Right on the Mongollon Rim, at a perfect 5200 feet. Seasons, but temperate. http://www.visit-prescott.com/general/about-presc… Californians pretty much bought Prescott in the 90s, though. Turned all the old Victorians into B&Bs.— November 2, 2009 3:27 p.m.

I'm tellin' ya. Ya gotta get up there. (When you go, walk around barefoot up there for a bit, too. See if you notice anything "interesting.") ;)— November 2, 2009 3:12 p.m.
