Ride Captain (of Industry), Ride!

Today is officially two weeks into my career change.  A very diverse day. We started with the CEO of a major tech company here who talked to me about how he grew his company.

Small talk and talks of substance.Next was a front office Marriott worker on her way to work. She chose to look at her phone rather than humor me.  Then there was the transplant from Atlanta who accepted her fiance's proposal and move to Scottsdale. She was on her way to the health club as the wedding was 6 weeks away. Swinging back around, I drove past the Westin Kierland and got paged by a young executive from Cyprus on his way to Amex.

Even Great Salt Lake has a few fish from runoff and you can even float in the Dead Sea in Israel. But this one is deader than a doornail. " The  Salton Sea was formed  in 1905 when massive flooding caused the Colorado River to break through an irrigation canal headwork and flow freely into the  Salton  Basin for 18 months." It has a rich history, having been a huge vacation spot in the 40's and 50's, complete with hotels, aquatic shows, skiing mermaids and more. Then the petrol,pesticides and chemicals came in and within just a few years, every f...

Apologies to Harry Chapin

With apologies to the late-and great-Harry Chapin It was raining hard in Scottsdale I needed one more trip to end the day The Uber driver app said The Golf Club at Troon I didn’t mind , it was on my way I passed the gate up to the driveway, Past the carts and the clubs and the tees A woman in her 50’s went and opened the door While I checked to calculate my fees I said, where you going to, you NoSco girl It’s a shame you ruined your Laboutins in the rain She just stared at me in the mirror And said 46 Stardust lane Something about her was familiar I could swear I'd seen that lift before But she said, "Just focus on the road, pal" And she didn't say anything more It took a while, but she looked in the mirror And she glanced logo on my car A smile seemed to come to her slowly She said: ‘Hyundai’s really come so far’ She said: What does this car go for? I said it’s really rude to ask She said “you’re my driver, I’m your client” I said kindly’ ...
