I'd always wanted to go there. More's the pity: I'm married to a man who doesn't like the heat (or I'd have moved to Tucson ages ago). But we did all right on this trip, between the room and the pool and the car A/C.

I really wanted to see a roadrunner, but not out in the desert per se. I saw one sneaking around behind an exhibit at the Living Desert museum/zoo, so I was satisfied.

But yeah, I love the desert. I love how beautiful it is.

And as far as the movie went, I liked it. I didn't see the first FF, but this one kind of fit the bill. It had the look and feel of the classic-era FF comic books, so I was good with that.
