Last night in the midst of the Christmas rush, I took a night off of the flurry of Christmas preparation to spend the evening with a small group of people, one of whom was Sheriff Joe Arpaio.
I have met him many times, but you really get to know someone when you spend hours with that person in a small, intimate setting over food and drink.
Since my background is in psychology, I am intrigued a lot more by the makeup of someone’s mind than I am his or her politics. This goes for liberals and conservatives alike.
Joe speaks pretty forthrightly.
I didn’t realize Joe was 81. He enlisted at 18 to go fight in the Korean War. He arrested Elvis once.
