Time Out

There's been nothing but bad news for the school districts. Tucson's cutting back 560 teaching and administrative positions for the next school year, Bisbee's going to four days a week and creating four ten-hour work days. (I will not work for what they are currently paying, for a ten-hour work day!) Sierra Vista's also laying off a hundred or so people.

I am busy with school and haven't been able to "play" much. I was hoping for a hike up Slavin Gulch this Saturday and now the weather looks bad: there's a chance of thunderstorms! That's great news for the mountains, but not so great news for those of us wanting to go into the mountains.

But now that I realize this is Easter weekend, I can perhaps do a hike on Friday nearby, and another on Sunday?

Winds are picking up again. They howled this morning. More winds are due on Friday.

Today: Windy with a mix of clouds and sun. High 74F. Winds WSW at 25 to 35 mph. Winds could occasionally gust over 40 mph.
Tonight: Partly cloudy skies. Low around 45F. Winds W at 15 to 25 mph.
Tomorrow: Sunshine and some clouds. High 71F. Winds W at 10 to 20 mph.
Tomorrow night: A few clouds from time to time. Low 46F. Winds SW at 5 to 10 mph.
Friday: Windy with times of sun and clouds. Highs in the low 70s and lows in the mid 40s.
Saturday: A few thunderstorms possible. Highs in the low 60s and lows in the low 40s.
Sunday: Sunny. Highs in the low 70s and lows in the mid 40s.
