Oregon’s great!

Lived in Tempe for almost 10-years. There are a lot of things I miss about Arizona, my friends mostly.

Oregon does have some down sides too, politics mostly.

ASU has got some fine specimens of sammich makers!  Never paid any attention to MCC, but when I worked in Snottsdale and needed to travel south I would intentionally save some time to waste around ASU to watch the round bobbers bouncing around.

That's one of the best AZ things:  skimpy clothing.  Well, great on some people, anyway.  Nothing worse than a really fat woman buttering herself up and plopping into a tank top where her fat roll spills out like a scene from the Blob.  

Nothing against fat or skinny people, but a little common sense goes a long way in the way one dresses.  What they think is sexy is gross - like me wearing a thong to the pool.  Even wearing shorts I get people asking me to take the batteries out of my legs to stop blinding them

I love AZ but HATE the valley.

In 4 years (when the GF's daughter gets out of HS) we are outta here faster than you can say "OUTTA HERE".

Flagstaff or points in that vicinity, here we come!

I'll be back in 3yrs and 5mos after my time in the grunts is up.  I'm in Camp Pendleton, CA right now trying to become something a little more highspeed than a regular rifleman.

Nevada is better.  We don't have half the off limit places AZ has.  I don't have to leave my weapon in the car to have dinner.  If I see a no gun sign in a store, I think to myself, "fuck off".  I love to visit AZ, but I wish that I could carry in Red Lobster, Pizza Hut, etc...
