@tjmcaulay I was thinking the same thing when I saw the clocks winding down last night. It was top-of-mind because I came across this post on my timeline not even an hour before!
Senator Kyl was instrumental in helping Payson during the town’s decades-long efforts to secure its forever water supply. He sponsored the Arizona Water Settlements Act of 2004, authorizing the transfer of water rights amounting to 3,000 acre-feet of water annually to Payson and an additional 500 AF to other Rim Country communities, enabling the CC Cragin pipeline project to become a reality.
My father enjoyed working with him over the years on this, and the town will be forever grateful. RIP.
BREAKING NEWS: Jon Kyl, a giant in Arizona politics who served the state in Congress for nearly three decades, has died, his family announced Thursday. He was 84.

Progress, but this a very precious asset that’s presentation needs to be executed more meticulously.
1) We cannot come straight out of commercial into Roundball Rock. There needs to be the anticipation of the laser peacock intro first, or, a full matchup graphic overlay + swipe on top of the aerial city wide view.
2) The crescendo of the opening beat drop cannot be obstructed. Broadcasters need to let it breathe before welcoming us.
3) There are two different choruses during Roundball Rock, and the latter of which is meant to be played when the broadcast camera shifts inside and shows players running out-of-the-tunnel, naturally segueing into the courtside broadcast team’s pregame show as the music slowly fades. This second beat is essential to setting the tone, building drama, and injecting the proper dose of nostalgia. It has to run for 2-3 seconds.
