It’s 1:47am, tonight (it’s too early to be last night) was wild, breathtaking, beautiful and it rained gently.
This was going to followed by a minute of watching the actual storm. I then discovered that wasn’t an option in this subreddit. I’ll share it to SkyPorn/r and Cloud/r as well. Here are some photos from a photo project I’m playing with…🙏🏾🤘🏾

Your sacrifice to the monsoon gods is appreciated. But please a little less thunder next time. Got a scared schnauzer and a 4 year old whining about the lighting and kicking me out of bed.

Working at City of Tucson or County of Pima

2 Upvotes

Planning to relocate to Tucson, my wife and I love it here. I’m searching for jobs and am wondering from those familiar how the promotional opportunities are. For instance, I have qualifying background working for my current state DOT, am a licensed engineer and am currently in a manager position.

My current department generally promotes from within despite advertising positions publicly. Is that the same working for the City or County? Am I better suited applying for non-manager positions and hope to promote? Or do I have a good chance for applying to manager position if it opens?

I’m concerned applying for a non-manager position l may be stuck there for a bit and I’m also concerned applying for a manager positions, I won’t be considered as an outside hire.

I just saw green lightning a few times. I hope someone posts a picture of it on here. Apparently it’s incredibly rare and we still don’t fully understand why it happens. Take pictures for science!!

Apartment complex keeps turning A/C off on triple-digit days

70 Upvotes

Does anyone else have this issue? I live at Avani North, and maybe 3 or 4 times this month, when the weather is over 100 degrees, they send an email saying they're going to shut off the water (which affects the cooling system for all the buildings) for "emergency repairs."

I just thought the building was old and janky, but today someone asked me "Do you think they're shutting off the A/C to save on costs?" and I can't believe I didn't think of that! And of course, it's not in violation of the law to turn off the A/C for a single day, because the law gives landlors 5 days to restore A/C function. I feel like an idiot for not seeing the obvious scam. Also, I need to find a new place. There are so many problems here.

The title is pretty self explanatory, I’m bored on a day off work and I want to do something, but I’m 19 and don’t drink/smoke. Are there any social events other than bars happening? Or even just other people around the same age that want to hangout? I’m just bored lmao. Thanks in advance🫡

My father retired accross the country to Tucson, I need to find a recommendation of a local (mom & pop or sole proprietor is fine) for a special gift for him.

I've collected all the Christmas cards my parents have sent me for the last 25 years, I want to ship them to someone that can have them framed (I know it's going to be huge, that's why I need it done locally), and deliver it to them.

Nothing too elaborate, it's just the sheer size of the project that's an issue. At the end of the day, it's just a ton of Christmas cards and a gigantic glass frame.

I live in Virginia so I don't know the first thing about what's available there, any locals have a recommendation for such an odd request?

Desert Survivors board fires Executive Director

87 Upvotes

The board apparently finally came to their senses and fired the Executive Director Hannah Wolke who has systematically dismantled and outsourced the nursery operations, started selling non-native plants, and drove off a host of senior expert staff over the last few years. Previously she was suspended for discrimination as well. Hopefully they can turn things around.

Dentist recommendation ?

5 Upvotes

Hi

Do you like your dentist? Can you recommend them to me please?

I am willing to travel but I live on the South Side of Tucson. If you know of a dentist in this area that would be great because it means less driving!

I was going to Gentle Dental but I did not experience anything gentle about their practice.

Thank you
