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.

Wow.

The Maricopa County Sheriff’s office arrested the owners of the alternative Phoenix magazine New Times last night.

They were arrested on the misdemeanor charge of revealing grand jury information. The grand jury information was related to a subpoena issued against the magazine. This original subpoena was raised after the New Times printed an article the County Attorney didn’t appreciate, like publishing Joe Arpaio’s home address. Most legal commentators believe printing this information is protected by the First Amendment.

In the subpoena, the County Attorney has asked for the following:

Information about the visitors to the New Time’s website for the last four years including the following:

* The number of people who viewed each New Time’s article.
* The web addresses visitors were looking at BEFORE they came to the New Time’s website.
* Shopping habits of New Time’s readers.
* A list of every page that viewers have accessed on the website for the last four years.
* All information derived from cookies used by New Time’s readers.
* The date and time of every visit to the New Time’s website in the last four years.
* The type of browser and operating system used by every New Time’s reader.
* The Internet Protocol number of everyone who’s visited the New Time’s website.

Full Story.

The article from ABC15 last Valentines Day:

The man who was tied up, stabbed several times during sex, and watched as the woman he was with drank his blood is speaking only to ABC15.

Robert McDaniel, 43, spoke exclusively to us hours after having more than 150 stitches removed from across his body. McDaniel says he met 24-year-old Tiffany Sutton about a month ago and the two got together on Valentine’s Day. While undressing, she asked if he was interested in “kinky” sex and being tied up.

McDaniel says he agreed and moments later, Sutton pulled out three knives with skulls on them and began slashing him.

“You wouldn’t expect this type of thing is going to happen during sex, but that’s exactly what happened, she tied me up and just began the assault,” McDaniel said.

McDaniel paints a horrific picture of bleeding from his back, arms, stomach and thigh while being chased by Sutton, who was armed with a pickaxe.

More info from the previous attack here and here.

Now this woman has attacked (another??) man in order to drink his blood:

There’s something really fishy about this story.
