The Hobo Camp Fire Is going well #VIII.. Stop In!!!

[ezdays]

Good morning folks, just another hot and muggy day here in the southwest. We have here in Arizona what we call the, "Stupid motorist law". If you go around a barricade and get stuck in a flooded street, you can be fined for the cost of your rescue. The other night there was this guy near Tucson that went around a barricade. Unfortunately they were not able to rescue this guy. Here in Scottsdale, someone else went around several barricades and signs and had to be rescued. He got four tickets after they brought him to safety. He thought that he wasn't treated fairly since it was, in his words, "a simple mistake". Yup, what kind of mistake like that is simple? You ignore the warnings and you pay the price. Lots of streets and parks around here are built through what were desert washes and are specifically designed to keep the flood waters away from residential and business areas. Yes, they flood on purpose and they all have warnings up when they do.
