Imagine digging a canal through the Arizona desert and realizing somebody had already worked out the route a thousand years before you.
That happened in the Salt River Valley.
In the 1800s, settlers found the remains of canals built by the people archaeologists call Hohokam. They followed and reused some of those channels. Parts of Phoenix’s modern canal system still follow ancient routes.
The original builders did this with wooden and stone tools. They had to get the grade right across miles of ground, divide the flow between fields, clear out sediment, and repair whatever the river tore up.
Think about those settlers standing over an old canal. Planning where to dig and finding someone else’s work still useful after all that time.

Happy 251st birthday to the United States Marine Corps!

251 Years at the Tip of the Spear
For 251 years, Marines have met every fight with resolve, precision, and an ethos that never wavers. The first to fight and the last to yield. America sleeps well because Marines stand the watch.
Happy Birthday, Marines. Semper Fidelis.

Story: A teacher was asking me if my hands felt hot, because there was gold behind the wall. She asked if I could hear singing as we played a puzzling instrument.
