My most popular pages are at:
Recent Buys and Bedstand Books of Mr.Wonderful where I list the most recent books I've bought, with their Barnes & Noble sales ranking, along with the publishers' comments.
The MW Review of Books is where I issue eloquent and frank book reviews the everyday reader can comprehend and use as a factor as to whether to purchase the book or not. Go figure, a book reviewer you can believe.
Another un-retouched photo from the lens of the always in focus camera of Mr.Wonderful. Here you can see five UFOs flying parallel to the east bound highway 101 in north Phoenix, Arizona. Am I the only one who sees these things?
Is alien abduction next? Of course in Phoenix, Arizona, with 342 incidents of (illegal) alien kidnappings this year, it could happen.

As we maneuvered the insane parking lot of the 3rd Street Blockbuster, my son saw this tiny transport pull up, and was thinking that, "If you're going to drive such a Gay Looking car, you should be a fag." And then sure enough, the male passenger got out, and slung his man-bag, with the too-short strap, over his shoulder and sashayed his fanny into the store as he followed his strutting husband.
$18,000 for a vehicle that would come out on the short end of the stick in a collision with a golf course beer cart? Not smart.

Gasoline prices continue to rise in Phoenix, Arizona. Being I often work at security gates I'm definitely sad to see that the SOB's who drive the louder-than-Japanese-taiko-drums diesel trucks are paying over $4.65 a gallon to portray their fantasies of being real men simply because of their high seating position and the needless 'manly' racket the engines of their work trucks insult the ears of bystanders with.

Summer has arrived once again, so I get to rescue dumb toads from meeting the treads of the Michelin monster. Toads sit stone-still under bright lights where, with their Indiana Jones whip-fast tongues, they can scoop up delicious insects.
This is a pretty good-sized one who actually got up on all fours, sort of like a hydroplane-equipped boat with legs, and tried to run away from me.

Monday's 110F degree weather occurred at 4:47pm in Phoenix, Arizona. Thursday's 59F degree reading was taken at 4:27pm. The high temperature for Thursday was actually somewhere around 70F degrees. You can see why the Hate Humanity Crowd altered the term from 'Global Warming' to 'Global Climate Change'.
Now, when our temperatures go either up or down, they can point to evil human civilization as the cause. Genius!
My question is, when will Arianna Huffington, John Travolta, Al Gore, Tom Cruise and the Google Boys among about 5,000 other elites, quit tooling around in their personal private jet aircraft? Before I'm reduced to riding a city bus packed with Illegal Aliens, their feral offspring and piloted by a failed casino bus driver with a death wish?

The other day, the Arizona D.P.S. were forced to temporarily close the south bound Black Canyon Freeway (I-17) during morning rush hour. Of course this was simply too much for the residents of the 'Maryvale of the North', i.e., Anthem, Arizona, so they immediately swerved off the road onto the desert floor to escape the horrendous traffic jam that stretched to almost five minutes.
I love living on Cave Creek Road in Phoenix, Arizona. I rarely have a dull drive to work. If it's not disengaging tail-gating drunk Illegal Aliens from my ass, it's dodging the police chasing undocumented workers, or the jay-walking Illegals dressed entirely in black crossing the poorly lit six-lane roadway.

Here's something you don't see everyday. A Mohawk riding a motorcycle. Try as I might to snap his photo in a surreptitious manner, his keen Native American senses sniffed me out as I opened the shutter. However, not being a dolt myself, I had waited until a moment before his lane's green arrow came on, so I escaped any immediate retribution.

Here is a real asshole who, judging from how much this F-150 has been jacked up and outfitted with offset wheels, has a peenie about two and one-quarter inches long. This stupid son of a bitch swerved around me because I wasn't accelerating like like an F-35 fighter lifting off from a nuclear aircraft carrier. When he cut back into my lane, Mr. Mini-Penis missed my vehicle by about 18 inches. He had a companion racer-moron in the white Scion B. Don't they look like Mutt & Jeff stopped at the light? The dumb bastard in the F-150 proceeded to race ahead of me southbound on Cave Creek Road and miss every single traffic signal.

How many cops does it take to pull over a single citizen? One, because citizens have permanent addresses and something to loose. But that something is never their citizenship.

With the Myanmar (formerly known as Burma) tragedy in the news and being I am so close to the Mayans or Myanmarees or Burmese and their pythons, I wanted to post a couple of photos. But the Myanmar Junta would not grant me a visa, so I was forced to come up with my own photos.
I'm fairly certain that this is the single largest object, other than a Titan missile silo or a container for a nuclear reactor that you will ever encounter on an interstate freeway. This is a pre-cast concrete bridge span for the I-17 freeway in Arizona, seen at the north edge of Phoenix.

Here, east of the I-17, north of Happy Valley Road in Phoenix, Arizona, we see five hot air balloons in various stages of take off. As air temperatures, in middle May 2008, climb into the 100F degrees, I figure these are some of the last times these 19 Century throwbacks can safely fly until it cools off in October.

I saw this vehicle pull out from the Home Depot at Cave Creek & Cactus Roads in Phoenix, Arizona. Do you notice anything odd about where the driver of this vehicle is sitting? If you can't figure it out, know that when you are directly behind a vehicle, the steering wheel isn't normally in view.

Any morning or evening rush hour here in Phoenix, Arizona, we suffer from 10 to 30 street-choking traffic accidents.
I can't help but think that many of them are caused the state's 500,000 Illegal aliens, not knowing how to drive, driving vehicles that any self-respecting Cuban would have abandoned five years ago and driving immensely overloaded trucks such as this one, all the while as last night's alcoholic fiesta is whacking their head as if it were a Cinco de Mayo
Well, here he is, my first rattlesnake of the season. Not having a long enough stick, I couldn't move this little one off the road, however, I'm pretty sure he made it back to the desert.

Being one of the few living American's who has actually installed a piston in the flathead six engine of a 1950 Desoto, i.e., a car nut, I spotted this odd vehicle immediately. Sporting Mexican license plates it is a beluga-whale-shaped 'Euro Van' manufactured in Mexico by the Japanese car company Nissan.
Most Americans don't realize that any vehicles driven by Mexican citizens in Mexico, must be 'Hecho en Mexico' or they will be confiscated by the wonderfully corrupt Mexican officials. I was thinking about snapping a photo of the equally odd rear end of this vehicle full of dark-brown skinned Hispanics, but, since I was in uniform, I was fearful the English-speaking caudillo
would think I was with immigration and mark me for death.
