Not that I want any more people moving to Arizona, but Arizona is a lot
more than hot summer desert. We also have mountains, canyons and high
grasslands all having their own unique climates.

I can drive 45 minutes south from Tucson and be dry and 90 instead of dry
and 105. I can drive 45 minutes and be at the top of a 9000' mountain in
pines, aspens and firs with temps in the 70's. In the summer you pick the
cooler destinations and in winter the warmer.

Using an airplane we can fly VFR to many of those kinds of places all year
round. We may miss our $100 hamburger 3 or 4 times a year because of
weather. Here it's hard to justify buying a 396.

Mike,

Sssssssssshhhhhhhhh,

You'll give away all our secrets!

(FWIW, there is an outstanding show that pops up from time to time on the
Hi-Def network "INHD" called Above Arizona: An Aerial Tour. It's a
fabulous showcase of the diversity to which Mike aludes.)
