  While in Phoenix on a business trip, an associate I was working with who lived in Phoenix was driving us to lunch. He said "You know, the nice thing about this place is you never have to worry about weeds or yard care. Nothing here is alive unless it is being actively kept alive." Also, no matter how much water I drink in that city, I can only manage to pee about once per day. Kinda dry there, is what I'm saying.

  Only 3 months of the year are very hot, mainly jun, jul, aug. The rest of the year is quite nice. Also, due to low humidity it is much nicer, than say places like Florida, where it isn't just hot, but also extremely humid.

    check out NYC stop and frisk racial profiles landslide blue state + being a citizen doesnt help, apparently. An analysis by the NYCLU revealed that innocent New Yorkers have been subjected to police stops and street interrogations more than 4 million times since 2002, and that black and Latino communities continue to be the overwhelming target of these tactics. Nearly nine out of 10 stopped-and-frisked New Yorkers have been completely innocent, according to the NYPD’s own reports.

I don't believe that I would like to live someplace where someone like Joe Arpaio has a successful career in public service.
