Here’s a video.

While I was in Phoenix for the weekend, I met up with my dad’s old college buddy, Doc. He’s a great guy who is a ton of fun to hang out with and gets along with anyone. I had no doubt in my mind that he and my friends would get along swimmingly. We met up for drinks during the day at a Mexican restaurant and sat in their outdoor patio so we could enjoy the sun and the view. We didn’t realize at the time how horrible the view would become.

….

….Doc kept talking with the waitress despite the depressing fact that her dad was dead. As he was talking I saw an old man with hugh, thigh-high leather boots on walking towards us. Trying to lighten the mood, I interrupted Doc, pointed out the old man, and asked the waitress if her dad had ever owned boots like that. Doc, 5 Mile, Willis, and I all started laughing, but the waitress didn’t.

“That’s nothing,” she informed us. “Wait until you see his moose knuckle.”

So…I hate to ask you to pay attention to details but I want to know where they are. Mexican restaurant with an outside patio, flat screen tv showing what looks like an NBA game, outdoor fireplace, and a bar. Can any of you tell where this is based on that picture?

In his first day of questioning by prosecutors, Dale Hausner also professed his fascination with serial killers Charles Starkweather and Jeffrey Dahmer, saying he wondered how Dahmer could eat the remains of some of his victims and then go to work the next day.

“I always found something like that very interesting,” Hausner said.

Vincent Imbordino, a Maricopa County prosecutor, sought to put Hausner on the defensive by suggesting that he was bisexual.

“In fact, that’s one of the reasons that you let Mr. Dieteman stay in your apartment,” Imbordino said. “Because you were interested in him, weren’t you?” Hausner denied it vehemently, looking uncomfortable and agitated on the witness stand. The prosecutor continued. “Whenever he would leave you, even for a second, and walk out the front door, he would get a text from you: ‘Where are you Sam?’”

Imbordino confronted Hausner with a series of sexually explicit text messages sent between the two suspects. In one, Hausner asked Dieteman to pick up flavored condoms while he was shopping. In another, he described Dieteman as a “romantic fool.”

If you’re not familiar with Baby Man, here’s some background information from the New Times.

I’d only seen the guy three times – all three times he was walking down Indian School near 26th Street wearing a diaper, a bonnet, and holding a pacifier in his mouth.

The guy at the bar said another woman in the neighborhood hadn’t heard from Baby Man (whose real name was William Windsor) for a few days and peaked in a window. She said she could tell my the odor and the flies that he had been decomposing for several days.

I suspect the full story will be in the New Times this weekend.

From Brand X in Tempe.

A couple of nights a week, this valley business executive named Jim (I agreed to conceal his last name) dresses up as his invented superhero character, and patrols valley streets. When you meet him, you can’t help but notice his sincere enthusiasm and his incredibly well-crafted costume. Half embarrased, he admits the outfit cost about 4,000 dollars to create. It includes a silk cape, leather mask, and a steel-plated upper body shield designed by a professional armor maker.

On a Tuesday night in April, I followed Prime on a shift. As part of a recent effort to interact with the community more often, he spent a couple hours in the late evening strolling Mill Avenue in Tempe, mingling with the crowds.
