Out-of-the-way Valley museums
The East Valley Tribune has profiled some of the more eclectic Valley museums in today’s Saturday paper.
My favorite museum in the metro area is the Arizona Wing CAF Aircraft museum. About six years ago I stopped in the museum on a Saturday afternoon on my way to the office to catch up on some work.
After about an hour I gave up on work and spent the rest of the day walking the museum with the enthusiastic docent. If you have any interest in aircraft or U.S. military history I’d highly recommend the AZ CAF museum.

Joe Arpaio on CNN’s “Lou Dobbs Tonight”:
They “called me the KKK“. I think it’s an honor, right? It means we’re doing something,” Arpaio said, according to transcripts of the show.
The Maricopa County Sheriff’s office called it an ‘off-the-cuff remark’.
