Facts about Arizona...

[rog8732]

With all the "pitcher-takin", river trips, hiking the canyons and such-all; any body in Arizona work a "9 to 5" ?

I have a friend who went to AZ with his young bride of 58, he's 63, and stayed a night in a Sodona motel.
He is also the most extreme tight-wad I know of, and said it was the highest price he had ever paid at a regular motel but,... he said it was such a spectacular place to visit, he re-upped for another night !

Didn't say if it was an enhancement to the nuptials or no.

I also see in the news about Arizona, it pulls more than it's allocated share of water from the Colorado, to grow cotton. Seems god's own children, (some Californians) want some of it back ! For their lawns of course.

I live near Sedona and it is gawdawful pricey. Yes, I worked full time for 35 years and ran a ranch to boot. The Colorado River Compact is the definition of confusing but there is no compelling evidence that my state is taking more than it's allocated, unless you're in CA watching the grass die and your BMW getting another layer of dust. Then, everybody's got more water than you. We are keeping our eye on those Californicators these days big time.
That compact is nonsense to begin with. The allocations are based on historically high flows in the river that do not reflect current, or even recent flows. Much more is allocated than is actually there to take for all concerned parties.

Chaparitto, I do believe there WAS mention of some "dusty" Beemers riling some of those folk.
