Nice to see somebody reacting to this lunacy in Arizona...

Travel icon Arthur Frommer says he won't be spending his tourism
dollars at the Grand Canyon, or anywhere else in Arizona, because the
state's laws allow people he described as "thugs" and "extremists" to
openly carry firearms.

That's ok, My brother and his family went on vacation and visited the
Grand Canyon, Yosemite, Black Hills, Rushmore and the like.

They had a really enjoyable time and didn't feel threatened by anyone.


Well, Arizona isn't yet on my list of States I'll Never Visit. Still the
same three: Texas, Mississippi, and Alabama.

The only tourist attraction in Louisiana is the French Quarter, if you
want to call a bunch of bars an attraction. Utah has some interesting
geology, and that is it.

I've been to Louisiana at least a dozen times in the past 15-20 years,
and only a fifth have been in connection with New Orleans as a "tourist"
destination. I like Louisiana. I have a poet friend who teaches English
at LSU.

I first went to Arizona on spring break with a couple of guys who lived
in the Yuma area, and I thought the geography, fauna, and flora really
interesting. I feel no need to visit Utah.
