I, too, am tired of all these people that come to Arizona and bash this, that, that & this about the state we call home.

Bitch about the traffic - yup, we do have traffic....but NO potholes.

The Cardinals - what an embarassment year after year, the new stadium won't make them play any better. Good thing - if someone asks "Does Phoenix have a football team" you can honestly say "no".

Weather - we only have 2 seasons, warm and hot. Don't need nor want 4 seasons. Who wants a season to freeze, scrape frozen s*** off your windshield so you can slide around the unplowed streets? Then there is spring - melted s*** & mud. Summer - bug season. Fall - ok for a minute or two....then slog through the wet, slippery leaves..look at bare branches and dream of another season.

We have mountains, abundant sunshine, beautiful and diverse scenery, skies full of beauty and stars - zillions of them. Can enjoy the outdoors 12 months a year. Cheer when the snow birds leave (who spend alot of time bitching about Arizona) and we can all breathe a sigh of relief and get around town a little easier.

Me, I can't wait for summer....float around the pool, barbeque everything and enjoy the warmth.
