A converted post office is now the Gowan Company building(Editor's shout out: As I arrived in downtown Yuma, I got a call from my college chum, Skeeter. We talked college football, movies and hockey.)
Now, back to our regularly scheduled program...
Early Saturday morning, I left Phoenix for a day-trip to Yuma, AZ, to see what I could see. Yuma, on average, is one of the hottest cities in the U.S. and filled with sunshine. I was welcomed with temps in the mid- to high 70s, sunny skies and a nice breeze.

Nice place, but seems to be lacking 'people'...
Yeah, the downtown was a bit sparse, but it was early on a Saturday when I was there. Most of the businesses were just stirring while I was there.
What did you do with those nasty chunks-o-tomato at lunch?
Tom - ate a few, gave the rest back to them.
I think you should maybe shoot some video of your trips and perhaps interview some of the towns folk and other tourists.
You could dress like Mar-Har too.
It would be funny if you took a crap on the steps of the school also.
More fish and chips!!!
That is all.
I'll bet you could get an 8-ball of meth for like, two dollars in a place like that. Did you see any sandwich shops which were hiring?
