1. A gastronomic addendum: over the weekend we were in Tucson, Arizona, my first visit there since the early 90s.  While there, we sampled a Sonoran Dog, one of the local specialties.  Definitely not for the faint of heart, it consists of a hot dog wrapped in bacon and grilled, then smothered in a bun with beans, tomatoes, onions, and cheese and drizzled with mayo.  Sonoran Dogs are so decadent that they’ve been featured on the pig-out show Man vs. Food.
