> Today is All Saints Day in the Western Church calendar -- honoring all the saints, known and unknown.

It is an incredible little mall that looks and feels like something you'd experience in Asia -- the layout, the Chinese style marble floor, the art work, the smells -- all in Mesa.

> For those asking about PUST here is the fascinating story of James Kim. ~ Fortune

> It looks like we're returning to AC weather for a few days. At least the evenings are pleasantly cool. Yesterday gave us a Chamber of Commerce 79° high. This is why we tolerate the summers.
