Vote Centers streamline in-person voting
The Pima County Board of Supervisors at its May 3 meeting approved the locations of 129 Vote Centers where primary and general election voters can cast their ballots. Vote Centers differ from precinct-only voting where voters could only cast a ballot on Primary Day or Election Day at the polling place specific to the precinct in which they are registered. With Vote Centers, voters can cast a ballot at any County Vote Center.
A dedicated website tells you all about it.

Exploring the County Line: Edwin Road
Johnny Cash may walk the line, but you can ride it when you bike along Edwin Road, which straddles Pima County to the south and Pinal County to the north.
The scenic route is reminiscent of the Old West and is a great way to access the Honeybee Canyon network of trails.

When out on the trail,
yield to horses
Tucson Mountain Park and Colossal Cave Mountain Park beckon many types of trail users. Trails can be narrow and present challenges when people try to pass each other.
Pedestrians and cyclists should always yield to equestrians on any County trail or path. On trails, mountain bikers must yield to all other trail users.

Keep your pups safe
as temps climb
Pima Animal Care Center has an important seasonal reminder: If it’s too hot to put the back of your hand on the ground and hold it there for 10 seconds, then it’s too hot to take those pups on a walk.
And if you need to run errands, leave the pets at home. It only takes minutes for a car sitting in the summer sun to reach a deadly temperature inside, even with the windows down.
