Quiet on the set!

The RV resort where we are staying isn't far off the new 303 Loop in the Phoenix area.  The southern most part of that Loop is closed today while Nissan is filming a commercial.  So, any traffic that would be using that Loop off Interstate 10 is being detoured.

It makes me wonder how much it must cost to rent out a section of highway for filming?  Besides the cost of the road (and who rents that out??), there is payroll for workers to put out the barricades, and police cars at any possible road entrance, in case someone should try to go around the barricades.  And then the cost of all the filming stuff.

We can see several motorhomes and semi-trucks, along with several large white tents and other cars on that section of road from our RV park.  On the bright side, it is a beautiful day for it: sunny and warm.

On another front, it was "grooming day" around our place.  Joan gave me a haircut.  Rufus also got some parts trimmed.  One of us is a hairy boy... and isn't particularly fond of having his private areas uncovered.  Yes, I'm talking about Rufus.  Since I was already "caped" for my haircut, Joan had me hold him while she did the trimming.  There was some struggling and hissing, and a bit of crying.  And Rufus wasn't too happy, either.  In the end (literally on his part), we both are looking less hairy.
