📰 In the news
Scammers target patient data: Bisbee residents report spoofed calls claiming to be from Copper Queen Hospital and asking for personal and medical info. The Cochise County Sheriff’s Office and FTC are investigating — read the full story.
Habitat and forest health improvements: Arizona Forestry will begin fuel reduction work near Dragoon and Dewey to cut wildfire risk, creating fuel breaks and removing vegetation. No road closures are planned in Cochise and Yavapai counties — get all the project details.
Seven cozy Arizona escapes: Looking for 2026 getaways near Sierra Vista? A recent roundup features Sedona, Prescott, Wickenburg, and Williams, plus Bisbee must-visits like the Queen Mine Tour and Old Bisbee Brewing Company — explore the full guide.
Nothing prepares you for a pet emergency: I learned that the hard way after charging $10k to a credit card for life-saving surgery on my cat, Miss Stache. As soon as we got home, I signed up for Spot. It’s super affordable – and reimburses up to 90% of the bill.
Compare rates for free: The national average for car insurance is around $175/month. Paying more than that? Same, so I did some shopping around and ended up cutting my premium in half. If you haven’t checked in a while, you’re probably overpaying too — here’s the comparison tool I used.
Highlights this week:

🏆 Gold and silver are heating up
Together with our sponsor American Hartford Gold
Gold just posted its strongest run in decades… and the momentum is carrying into 2026. Silver has become one of the most talked-about assets as investors look for ways to stay ahead of market volatility.
While many are still sitting on the sidelines, others are quietly repositioning.
If you’re wondering whether you’re missing something, AHG has a free guide explaining what’s driving the renewed interest… and how investors are approaching precious metals right now.
It’s free and worth reading before the next move.

🫶 We got your back
Twirl-worthy pasta fix: When the week begs for a carb hug, Pizzeria Mimosa answers with scratch-made Italian, a Naples wood-burning oven, and mountain-view vibes that reset your mood. Pies built to share, twirls of sauce, and comfort served hot… feeling better comes quick.
Retro wardrobe refresh: Craving character in your closet? At Redbone Bisbee Vintage, true vintage meets fresh pieces and accessories, helping you build outfits you’ll actually wear. A friendly brick-and-mortar haven for inspiration, perfect for hunting standout shirts and assembling looks with real personality.
Chill and recharge: Cryogen Plus delivers whole-body cryotherapy and targeted sessions for sore knees, post-workout puffiness, and that “I slept funny” shoulder. Curious about cold? Their cryo sauna offers a quick, invigorating boost that can lift your mood.
Thinning hair? It only gets worse: A few months ago, I noticed my ponytail getting thinner. I tried the usual stuff (biotin, shampoo, etc.) but mostly just hoped it would fix itself… until I learned that active follicles can permanently go dormant if you don’t do something about it. The good news? You can get treatment that actually works with no office visits or trips to the pharmacy. Learn more about my favorite online options here.

Someone Googled you this week 👀
It may feel like an invasion of privacy, but unfortunately It’s the new normal. Whether you’re joining a committee, selling something locally, dating again, or just meeting new neighbors… people are going to look you up online.
Like it or not, the internet has a way of surfacing past mistakes and outdated information that no longer reflects who you are.
Thankfully, there’s a really easy way for you – or someone you care about – to clean up outdated results that no longer tell the real story. Learn more here.
This house is wild

Plantation shutters, wood and tile floors, and a gas fireplace complement a granite kitchen with island wine rack. Two private suites, a loft, and a climate-controlled 3-car garage. Wraparound paver patio with gazebo, spa, outdoor kitchen, firepit, and 50-amp RV parking.
