If you can get past the heat, we actually get some fairly nice weather the other four months of the year. It’s always entertaining when the heat finally breaks in early September, watching all the people from out of state looking up and shouting “Where’s all this f__king RAIN coming from?!”

I’ve been here for 27 years. I feel about it the way Travis McGee felt about Florida — sure, the weather’s awful, the crime rate’s through the roof and nobody can f__king drive, but this is my place in the world. I can’t imagine living anywhere else. (My brother-in-law and his wife moved to Tacoma — he’s still getting over the massive change in climate.)

The only things I don’t like about this place are: 1. The winters here are a little too nice; we get a lot of idiot visitors (Snowbirds, we call them) from out-of-state, the kind of people who make Arizonans look like safe drivers by comparison. 2. A lot of Californians are moving here — which I would be cool with if they weren’t all rich losers and leftists; they seem to be doing their damnedest to turn us into California-without-the-beaches.

Arizona – that’s where the hillbillie’s lived in the hood. We weren’t allowed to have friends from Arizona. How could I forget that? (Probably thinking about Avalon Trails…)

Rich forgot to mention that part of our old neighborhood was called “Arizona”

We never knew why.

Linda Carter question: I just about had the answer, then I got slapped a good one. And did you know that she’s also a professional singer?

(if the answer is “No”, that’s because you were probably paying attention to something else while she was singing)

I say if the Mexicans don’t get their act together, we threaten to return Arizona to them. Then we will find out that the “reconquistas” just want the parts that were “stolen” that contain the beaches and Disneyland.

To think I may voluntarily move to a place with such lovely weather. “But it’s a dry heat.” “Yeah, so’s an oven and I don’t stick my head in there … on purpose.”

Fave thing about Arizona: http://www.myspace.com/zachariahandthelobosriders . Their “Tucson Afternoon” should be the state song.

Tracy you win! And thanks for sharing me – always been one of my fantasies.

All wise-assness aside, I really like Tucson. Great town, friendly people and beautiful scenery. You can keep Phoenix though – bleh.
