"It got lost in the mail," is how Democrat Robert Robuck replied when asked why he hasn’t voted in Pima County since moving here from Sacramento four years ago.

According to Pima County voting records, Robuck has never voted in Pima County. Robuck confirms he didn't register in Pima County until after the February presidential-preference election.

Robuck, who is challenging District 2 Supervisor Ramon Valadez, insists he always voted when he lived in California, but when he moved to Sahuarita with his family in 2004, he had other things on his mind.

First, he focused on fixing a trailer on his property for his family to live in, and then, acting as the contractor for his home project, he began the permitting process to build a house. Life got even more complicated when Robuck's father-in-law got sick in 2005, and he and his wife left to take care of his affairs and move him back to Arizona to live with them.

In 2006, Robuck says, he finally finished the house, and he and his wife registered to vote by mail. When they went to vote in the February election, they discovered his wife was registered, but he wasn't.

Asked if it's difficult to ask voters to vote for him when it took him a while to finally register to vote in Pima County, Robuck says it wasn't like he didn't try, and that something went wrong.

"Then I postponed it, and then I finally filled out the forms and went down to the (MVD) and then made sure I was registered so I could vote in this (upcoming) presidential election. At that time, I didn't know I was going to run for office. It wasn't until April when I threw in my name," he says.

Robuck says friends have told him not to say his first attempt to register to vote was lost in the mail. "But it's the truth. It got lost in the mail," he says.

Tickets go on sale next week for Light Up America 2008, a Cheech and Chong reunion tour. Unbelievable. Must be a sign of the apocolypse, but then again, the Stones, the Eagles and few others in between made "when hell freezes over," a negotiation tool.

Marin has said the duo tried to reunite in the past, but always fought.

"It takes about 3 minutes for that to happen. There's this veiled hatred," he said. "We've kind of resolved that.. .. We've gotten to the age where we don't feel like fighting anymore, because the end is a lot closer than the beginning."

That, and the possibilty of making money, can make hell freeze over, and help Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong love each other. Maybe they'll end each show with a rousing rendition of Kumbaya.

So far Phoenix is the only Arizona city on the tour schedule, for Nov. 12.

Anyone out there into the Showtime series Weeds?

I don't want to blow it for those of you renting last season (which was so-so). This season (four) is better than it's been since the Mary Jane-inspired show first started in 2005. Nancy Botwin has brought her crew out of the Agrestic burbs to a San Diego/border beach community, and while marijuana remains a main character, the show is also bringing up some thought-provoking border story lines with border politics now joining the cast. Botwin's brother-in-law, Andy, and their friend Doug are now in the beginning stages of growing a new business-- being "good coyotes"--trafficking illegals over the border in a nice Jet Blue kind of way, with an excellent Minuteman portrayal by Lee Majors (who also happens to play Grandpa Max in the live-action Ben 10 movies)!
