Eighteen-year-olds face the exciting prospect of heading to the polls for the first time in their lives. Yet younger citizens vote in lower numbers than their parents and grandparents.

We are vacationing in Arizona and as I write this column (last Friday) it is raining and has been raining off and on for the past couple of days and the dry run creeks are bank full. Sedona is our home base there, and the community is tucked into the natural red rock cliffs located…
