The place where everything else goes!
Hi!
Yes I do still exist!
I will be adding stuff here as I can and as I think of new things to write about. Yes I have had a million ideas-but I need to get them down here! I will try harder to do just that! So stay tuned!

I have been away for a while, redoing my computer and such. Finally figured out how to get to the control panel again!
So I will be saying stuff here again! If you want me to write about something special, just leave me a comment here!
Recently Glassford Hill Road in Prescott Valley was under construction. The normal speed in the construction area before the construction was 35mph. During the construction with all the road being ripped up and the detours and the absence of lines, and the safety junk all over the place, the speed was still 35mph.
There seems to be something wrong here. To me the speed should have been lowered to about 25mph or so. There was not even the dire warning signs about double fines present. Apparently the powers that be thought that 35mph was a safe speed even with all the road hazards present during construction.
This leads me to an even more interesting question or two. Does this mean that is 35mph is a safe speeed there with the hazards? If that is true then why is the normal speed is only 35mph? Should the normal speed be higher like around 45mph? That road feels perfectly safe at 45mph as it is a big double lane highway with turnoffs as needed. If Glassford Hill Road is fully capable of 45mph speeds then why is the speed limit there only 35mph? Is the town of Prescott Valley doing that just to make money off the people in town for artificial speeding tickets? To me that seems to be the answer. Prescott Valley Government has always seemed to be rather greedy in their need to fleece the people who live there. Maybe there needs to be some legal action here like what is happening with regard to the radar intersections that they have put there.

This is the time of the year that I protest the high property taxes for the next year. I check out the valuation sheets they send me every year and if I feel that the valuation has jumped too much, I will protest it. Generally I will save some money doing this.
The interesting part of all this is that the process is relatively painless. You have to fill out a form and all that, but the best part is that the assessor’s office people are really with it and willing to help. They answer all my dumb questions with good thought out answers and never make me feel like a complete idiot. The service is really good otherwise. They even call you back.
All this is just to say that you should not be scared to protest your valuations. The County won’t bite you. You might even save a few bucks in the process!
Yes I am still here! What do you want me to write about? Leave me replies and we will see what comes up!
