I recently hiked the Flatiron Trail in the Arizona Superstition Mountains. 

The view from the summit was spectacular, as were the views going up and coming down. But that’s not why I chose to hike it. 

Our office has received several notifications regarding a scam call or text currently going around the county. 

My column for this week is about things I have never taken for granted. Those things remind meof how lucky I have been to work in an office setting for the past 40 years. 

Question: I know you talk about the importance of tires when it comes to the winter months but I think it’s just as important to talk about it in the spring with rain and wet roads. Thank you.
