The Wild, Wild West redux

[Pope Pixie Pickle]

Its a concrete suntrap where in summer you can wander around in the evening in a bikini top and jeans, hoping your trainers don't melt on the asphalt.  The air is thick with smog and the water is so bad I was told not to drink it.

The earth is baked to red dust, the roaches are as big as mice (although for Kai this would be fascinating) and the biggest charm is the geckos crawling over the windows in the unbearably hot evenings.

It was horrible and had no weather to speak of, and I wandered around in permanent sunscreen to avoid sunburn.

You need to check your shoes for scorpions in the morning and the amount of bitey little bugs was something else.

Well, that's what you get for building a city in a desert valley, in close proximity to another desert valley with the name Death.

Tucson is much the same, but it isn't full of horrible undead bastards.  Well, outside of Oro Valley, anyway.

Yea I have stated this before and I will state it again.

There shouldn't be anything there. The entirety of Maricopa county is a shit hole.

This is a fact.  And one day, my Fremen will scour that place clean.

If I do not drown the place first.

Phoenix doesn't look that bad from the photos. Just like any other urban/suburban hellhole in this goddamn country.

no, it's definitely that bad.

Oh, that will do nicely.

It's different, and there are parts of it that, for some reason, there are no pictures of on the internet.

[Requia ☣]

Clearly a project is needed to photograph these undocumented parts of the country and put online.

Y'all speak the tr00f.  My ex-best-friend lives there...with her now-converted-was-atheist husband.   She wonders why "God" is punishing her by not giving her any babies.  I think it's because she loves Phoenix...
