No. They drive fine. You just need to learn know how to stay out of their way.

That’s because some snowbirds are. looking for jughandles. The ones from NJ I mean.

Arizona is a very interesting state. 

It has so many varied features. 

I love it and I have not explored all of it.

Hope to be doing more of that soon.

I can tell you that I-40 follows some of the most desolate terrain I have ever seen (between Flag and Winslow).

I broke down out there about 30 years ago in the middle of a snowstorm.....very very lonely feeling.

Best pho I ever ate was in Flagstaff.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

Welcome to the Briefing Room @HikerGuy83   .... we ARE a great, lovable group here with a wide range of  personalities and opinions.

I've visited southern AZ once our our honeymoon in December (coming up on 38 years) and it actually snowed briefly. We have relatives out there and haven't been back since -- they normally come here to FL to visit.

I thought fauxtogenic used a little vaseline on the lens filter...and an airbrush later.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Pho is yummy. If you ever get to go to a Vietnamese restaurant try it.
Trader Joe’s also has it in their frozen meals section. It’s pretty good too, if you want to try it.

Here’s a description and photo.

Is pho one of those East Asian soups in which thin-sliced uncooked meat is placed in the broth when served and the heat of the broth cooks the meat?

BTW, the pronunciation is more like "fuh", not "foe".

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

Pronounced 'fuh'.  Rice noodle soup.  The broth is the key.  And fresh basil.  There is a restaurant here called 'What The Pho'.

Looks good... for an appetizer... Y'all go out for soup?  :pondering:

It is a very big bowl.

Hey!  We could put all the ingredients in a box.  Just add meat and broth!  We could call it Pho Kit.  It would be perfect if the Democrats take control of everything.  You could make community sized Pho Kits for the inevitable soup lines.  You could have family sized Pho Kits.  School sized Pho Kits.  Brilliant.

"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

You would think the meat is the key. Monkey. Turkey. Donkey. Monkey might taste like rat on a stick. Who doesn't like turkey? Donkey prolly tastes like ass.
