How are you liking Arizona so far, hopper?

Loving it! Peaceful & quiet. It’s nice to go to the store and not get hit up for cash by homeless crackheads. No garbage anywhere, no graffiti, no traffic, no smog, the freeway signs don’t have razor wire around them. I had to use the restroom at Home Depot the other day - it was sparkling clean, and had real mirrors without any gang $#!T etched into it. Haven’t seen a public restroom like that in forever.

On Friday afternoon we had about a 20 minute all out hailstorm, but other than that it’s been pretty temperate every day - high’s in the low 90’s on the hottest day…..

We have those crazy hail storms randomly in Central Texas

It’s the way I got a brand new roof from my insurance 3-4 years ago or so

Tremendous update Malty you are exactly where you belong in life, and you deserve it pal.

What's the latest Malty?

As I mentioned before, I'm thinking about moving up there, probably in one of the smaller cities like Dewey or Mayer though. My realtor suggested I rent for a year or two to make sure I like it but that would mean I would have to move twice and rent out my house for a year or two.

I've been up there for the 4th of July many years and for Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter many years as well to visit my Mom and my sister so I'm pretty sure I would like it.

Zero regrets - well, only one, that we didn’t do it sooner. I’ll be starting my new job on Tuesday, kind of doing what I was in California - but making a little less. But that’s O.K., because everything is cheaper up here - especially gas.

Wife’s wall hooks finally showed up from Amazon - so we hung all of her suns up. Backyard is so peaceful, quiet. The only noise comes in the evening from the cicadas - which I enjoy. Good luck on your move when you decide to do it…..

Was nice to see - not only American flags today, but them being respectfully flown at half-mast…..

Coming home from work, had a little bit of a drive, like 30 minutes, decided to check out the local ‘flavor’ and change all my formerly California FM presets on the car stereo (yes, old school). So, I hit the ‘Seek’ button and let it fly…..

90% of the stations are either country, religious, or Conservative talk!

There was one - ONE! ONLY F#CKIN’ ONE ‘Spanish’ station! and 1 ‘Old School’ R&B. Everything else was lite pop, classic rock, classic pop (like Beach Boys, $#!T like that) and new pop like Arianna Grande (I guess).

That, literally, has been the biggest culture shock for me yet…..

Malted.... Time for some SiriusXM radio....
Be careful. Once you get it, you'll never give it up.

I’ve got Pandora, and my podcasts, Dish anywhere with the music channels - but I wanted to see what the local dial stations offered. It’s a @phillyflyers utopia!

Pandora... Great app. My kids have it and use it all the time.

That brings up a good point.... I got the kids Pandora in high school years ago. They've both graduated from college now and live on their own but I think I'm still paying for that monthly subscription.... I need to look at that.

So, did you stick to "Spanish’ station", Malted? You will be fluent in no time.
