San Jose Mercury News article about Asha

Finally, the San Jose Mercury has written a fairly comprehensive article about Asha's death and disappearance. It is about time some of the local papers started to do more comprehensive coverage of this crime. No one knows who killed Asha, and I was beginning to feel she was disappearing a second time.

I have just spent a few days in Tucson, attending a conference. It's a really interesting place, and I saw saguaro cacti for the very first time in my life. It seems like a cool place to explore, but I don't have a car! I still got to see beautiful sunsets, a historical homes district with adobes and cactus gardens, and I also ate great Southwestern food. Strangely, I felt like I had been transported back to 1980s decor--remember the Southwestern craze, everything that "desert rose" pink and turquoise? Well, here it's the real thing!

One thing about travel, no matter how interesting the places I go--I always appreciate getting back home to Santa Cruz.
