There's also way too many Mid Westerners and Easterners that move to the desert and bring their old landscaping....grass lawns, maple and other non-native trees and lots of flowers then they act surprised that they have allergies in the desert.

Yeah, I think the City of Phoenix and/or Maricopa County even outright banned the planting of olive trees for that reason.

Nothing like politicians to end a discussion.

So I'm having this conversation, this morning, with a co-worker......

Me: I see that George Zimmerman was involved in another shooting, shot AT this time.

Her: Who's George Zimmerman?

Me: The guy that shot Trayvon Martin.

Her: Who's Trayvon Martin?

Me: Uhhh... He was the kid shot by that over zealous neighborhood watch guy / bigot in Florida!

Her: Uhhh...I don't live in Florida!

Me: .....I know.....It's only been a constant story in the media for three years.

Her: I don't watch the news, it's too depressing.

This country scares me more every day.
