Security Peephole
Okay folks, I didn't want to recommend a product to you until I reeeeeally knew for sure all I could know about it, so I got myself what has to be the coolest and best peephole in the Universe from the very cool, very nice guys from Security Peephole. They came to install Saturday morning, were quick and efficient, made sure I knew all I wanted to know, cleaned up, and offered to come to our next meeting (which will be soon, I promise). They will have a peephole on hand for you to see.
I'm including pictures; I promise I don't always look so bad; it was early. :o)
Click here and it should take you to their official brochure (which has much better pictures than mine!)
In the first one, you can see the size of the peephole. My thought was, "WOW, that's huge!" My second thought was, "That's the coolest thing ever!" It's so easy to see through--you don't have to put your eye up to it and squint to see a tiny little image. You can see who's there from several feet away (great for kids--my 2-year-old can even identify people through it, short people like me, people whose vision may not be great, etc.). It's like looking through a video monitor:
You can see the street in front of the house and a huge chunk of the front yard very clearly:
This is what someone looks like standing outside the door. I couldn't get my camera to focus very well; it was a lot clearer in real life, but you get the idea:

And here's how it looks on the outside of the door. If I had never seen one of these before and approached a door that had one, I would think I was on camera or something. That in itself might be enough to deter someone trying to get in:
I think this is a great product! If you would like to have one installed at your home, contact Jeremy and Scott at securitypeephole@cox.net

Pinal County 2008-09 Budget

County Supervisors Adopt Tentative 2008-2009 Budget
FLORENCE – Today the Pinal County Board of Supervisors adopted the tentative 2008-09 budget. Highlights of the proposed budget include:
A net tax decrease of 54 cents, thus establishing the lowest primary property tax rate in 31 years. The proposed primary tax rate is 86 cents less than the 2006 rate.
Establishing Superior Court Division X to handle the increased caseload stemming from the county’s rapid growth.
Ensuring public safety by providing adequate funding for the Sheriff’s Office, Detention and the Courts.
Minimizing the use of the county’s rainy day fund by making expenditure reductions across multiple departments and divisions.
The proposed budget is $24.39 million less than the prior year’s approved budget.
Maintaining the financial stability of Pinal County. In December 2007, Standard & Poor’s upgraded its debt rating for Pinal County to A. Standard & Poor’s states the upgrade was earned as a result of “continued economic growth and diversification and maintenance of a strong financial position with strong reserves.”
Expanding library services for Pinal County residents.
Construction of a replacement for the storm-damaged Schnepf Road Bridge.
Completion of Park Link Drive resurfacing. Park Link Drive is an important east-west connector.
“Significant impact for the county may come when we learn how the state plans to balance its budget,” County Manager Terry Doolittle said. The tentative budget will be under review for potential adjustments over the coming weeks. The Board of Supervisors will vote on the final budget at their July 30, 2008 meeting.

Proposed Freeway Meeting July 8
Below is an excerpt from an email I received from Lane Smith of http://www.corridor4.net/ :
A Volunteers meeting has been called. I have received over 30+ RSVPs of our friends and neighbors that are willing to step forward to help us out. We are always looking for more neighbors to help fight for our community. We can use your help.
If you are interested in attending our meeting on July 8, please visit http://www.corridor4.net/volunteers-mtg-july-08/ ,or select the link at the top of the corridor4.com website.
I will have video cameras present at our meeting and would like for each of you to take a moment and have your comments recorded. These testimonials will be added to corridor4.com and will also be sent via DVD to ADOT and to other Government representatives and decision makers. This will be one more way we can be heard ...right from our own voices.
The time to act is now, contrary to what ADOTand others feel.
Your neighbor,
Lane Smith

Propane Tank Caution
A message from the Law Enforcement Network:
For those of you who like to grill it up during the summer, here's a safety announcement you should be aware of. Please put this information out to ALL. Even if you do not use and exchange a propane tank, send this out for those that do. This is something you definitely need to be aware of, especially in light of the recent news of "Meth-labs" in our area: "There was a meth training/workshop yesterday and there was a lot of great new information presented.
Meth cooks are getting the propane tanks from the exchanges at Wal-Mart, Kroger, etc. and emptying them of the propane. Then, they are filling them with anhydrous ammonia (which they now have a recipe for by the way). After they are finished with them, they return them to the store. They are then refilled with propane and sent back for you and me to buy.
Anhydrous ammonia is very corrosive and weakens the structure of the tank. It can be very dangerous when mixed with propane and hooked up to our grills, etc. According to our presenter, you should inspect the propane tank for any blue or greenish residue around the valve areas. If it ispresent, refuse to purchase that one."
Here's the NPGA Site for your review also. They have pictures. http://www.npga.org/i4a/pages/index.cfm?pageid=529
