It's a dry heat.

[Jim W N]

I love AZ but in 2018, there’ll be two less in AZ as we are moving to New Mexico to be licensed to practice law. So more than 7 million minus two.

Water. Water. Water.

It is the illegals and Mexicans that breed like rabbits. Kick them out and you can have your state again.

Way too many for the fragile desert environment. I lived there from 1968, when Tucson was a colorful small city of about 200,000, to 1978 when it was already over crowded.

...and enough water for everyone to have a swimming pool and private golf course.../s

There were 2.3 million in Arizona when ‘75 - ‘76. That’s a lot of growth. When I lived in the White Mountains then, places like Pinetop, McNary, Showlow and Snowflake were typical little western backwater towns. You could go 100 miles and not see a stoplight. I’m sure it’s all changed now.

“It’s a dry heat.”

Not in the Quad Cities area.

I moved to Prescott Valley in August.

Judging from the Senators y’all pick in AZ, the growing population hasn’t resulted in an uptick in wisdom.

[Waverunner]

When we moved from Georgia to Florida it was number 10.
Now it’s number three. From 5M to 20M
No more long walks exploring in the woods.
And Alligators were much sparser - you could swim in most freshwater above big cypress swamp.
Damn Yankees

As another said, we don’t go to that popular place because it’s to crowded.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

One million Arizonans, and six million Californians.
 

[Wingy]

You can thank Carrier and Trane. Without them, you Arizonians would still be a backwater.

[refreshed]

I sure miss AZ. When I was a kid, AJ and Mesa were separate. I lived in AJ, population 20,000 +- in the summer and 100,000 in the winter, so they said. I used to ride motorcycles and shoot in the desert out south Meridian, where my friend’s folks owned an auto salvage. I lived in Payson almost my entire adult life. I’ve been in Indiana for six very long years.

[RetiredTexasVet]

Are you counting McCain and Flake as humans or stock?

[Nateman]

Most of them here in Phoenix! (Or so it seems)

[RooRoobird20]

I’ve lived in Arizona my entire life. It’s a great state, but I don’t like the Phoenix area explosive growth.

Collateral Crimes

Review by Marshall Trimble, Arizona State Historian:

Collateral Crimes is the best crime thriller I’ve read in years. It’s a riveting, fast-moving, well-crafted page turner that had me hooked from the beginning. I especially enjoyed the geographical settings that take place in rural and the wilderness of Arizona's rugged Sierra Ancha Mountains where the climax of the story takes place. Yochim demonstrates a thorough knowledge of the places he writes about. I've been to those locales many times and the author's accuracy is spot on. Readers should keep in mind Yogi Berra’s sage advice, “It ain’t over ‘til it’s over.”

[Pearls Before Swine]

You’re OK as long as the water from the Colorado River holds out, and there’s electricity!

[Vince Ferrer]

Two words: Air Conditioning.

Who is “us”?

Seven Million FReepers?

Seven Million Conservatives?

I’ve been trying to get Mrs. KC to agree to agree to move to Flagstaff, but no luck so far. #;^)
