Phoenix is the only plast I've been where you can tell the temperature by the time. At 7am it's 70, 8 it's 80, 9 it's 90, 10 it's 100 etc...

Yes. The summer weather here in SWFL is no walk in the park but the
heat in southern Arizona is beyond compare. The northern part up in
the mountains is nice though.

Yes it is very nice from Scottsdale north to the Grand Canyon. I wonder whose bright idea it was to build a metropolis down in a proverbial hell hole like Phoenix anyhow?

I spent a college holiday long weekend with a buddy who lived in the
Yuma area. He was a desert rat and rattlesnake collector (don't ask),
and his idea of fun was to head out and look for them. Great guy, but I
declined future invites for visits. Oh, he kept a rattlesnake in
his dorm room, but that wasn't the oddest "pet" I was aware of in that
place.

The guy I know in Phoenix says he can go water skiing and snow skiing
the same day.
I looked a job in Tucson in 1980, spent a month out there.

"Minnesota 3. You have seventeen recipes for casserole."

Heh... I work with a guy from Minnesota. Sometimes he'll bring in a frozen entree for lunch, and he typically mixes it all together and eats it that way. He'll be the first to tell you he grew up on casseroles.

"2. You tell your husband to pick up Granola on his way home, so he
stops at the day care center."

That's really funny!

However, the stuff about the Deep South is just offensive, y'all.
