Love in the Time of Everyone

After two kids and more than ten years of marriage, Jenni and Sarah were lying in bed one night when Sarah shared she was a woman born in a man’s body: “I’m transgender.”

“That’s okay,” said Jenni. “Because I think I’m gay.”

This is a Re-Petey from 2016 and it has not been chilly at all! But as I sit and write this in November of 2020  (in my madras shorts), temperatures for the coming week are headed to normal…as in chilly! So dig out the flannel and make me look good. Also, in these distressing Covid 19 times, please, please please play it safe over these holidays. We can do big family and friend celebrations next year when we are all safe and sound.  I’ll be there with you!

Below are my comments from the original 2016 episode.

I can’t believe I almost let November go by without at least mentioning desert broom (Baccahris sarothroides).  It is the native plant the folks love to hate, as it comes up in the desert where ever the soil has been disturbed. Drive through any new subdivision that took a desert spot around Tucson and just count the desert broom plants. Not only is it a prolific seed producer, but once established it is very tenacious with its deep tap root. Folks hate it, but the answer is simple: leave the desert alone. Whaa?!

Though we don’t have many desert broom right around our little homestead we do have a native plant that drives me crazy too with it’s ability to pop up where I don’t want it. In habitat Brickellia floribunda or brickell bush is found in the rich soils of canyon bottoms and I suppose I should be flattered that I’ve created such nice rich soil for it to feel at home in. And of course it loves a good watered nursery mix, so I’m constantly pulling it from plants that I grow in our small nursery.

There are over 24 species of brickell bush in Arizona alone and some of them are quite attractive, but I’m sorry Brickellia floribunda, you drive me crazy. Maybe it’s payback for my teasing of my Sonoran Desert friends about desert broom.

The photos are mine. That’s a brickell bush growing up beside my ‘46 Chevy and the other photo is of the bristly seed heads. And, by the way, if you lived in Tucson in the 1970’s you may have seen me driving that old truck and hauling band equipment up and down Speedway Blvd and 4th Ave. We had some good adventures with it out in the desert as well.

In episode two, Jack and Susan share how they went from a reluctant first encounter to 30 years of marriage.

This time, we profile St. Louis guitarist Hi Henry Brown, who made a handful of remarkable sides for Vocalion in March 1932, and then disappeared.

Stephanie Homewytewa is the Tohono O'odham Nation Outreach Coordinator for the Pima County Recorder's Office. In this episode she shared her goals of reaching into the Tohono O'odham community to encourage, educate, and get individuals registered to vote. History shows that Native  Americans were given citizenship in 1924 with the signing of the Indian Citizenship Act, but in many cases weren't guaranteed the right to vote in all states until 1964. Voting barriers have existed and still exist in Native communities today, a few examples such as, in most tribal communities there are no physical addresses, and most tribal IDs cannot be used as identification for voting. For the most part the fight to have equal access to the ballot box for Native Americans is still a struggle. During the episode Stephanie touches on calling attention to the concerns of Native issues and how they can get involved in the voting process.
