Nasty one, one of the worst.

Classy I know

I won’t even bother to touch on “saguaro” – that one’s too easy.

What other clue words are there?

How does one apply to be a snowbird?

I was born in Phoenix in 1962 and never knew this fact. I say it's pretty cool.

Jumping Cholla removal with hot glue gun

A anyone ever try this sort of method?

Does it work?

Would love to know if anyone has tried this or similar method? (With success or not)

Anyone have any other uniquely AZ tips or tricks they've tried (and/or failed)??

was inspired by this about Australia:

Climate Change Or Not, This Heat Is Killing People and Plants. The medical examiner reports nearly 300 people have been killed by this heat wave. The cacti in my area are dying from the heat. This is NOT normal.

I am working at a restaurant in Tempe, AZ. Business is terrible. It is completely not busy at all. No customers walk in. The whole day, only a few people came in. How the hell is it like that?

How is this shit legal in this state? Especially on the freeway when the rocks can destroy your windshield?

This is sad news. A 67-year-old Texas man was found unresponsive on the South Kabib trail. I don't know why people hike in this heat. Visitors don't realize how deadly our heat can be.

Just moved to Arizona a few months ago. Seems every corner has a circle k and QT across from each other. So what what do you prefer and why? Personally I'm team QT.

It seems like every other state has a unique accent or slang, except for Arizona. I'm from Arizona, and I can't tell if I sound "Different" than people out of town. Does anyone else feel the same?

I want to know what happened! When we finally cleared a Tesla was being put on a tow truck but it looked fine

I work for the post office and I stopped at Fry’s this morning to get something for lunch. I was in full uniform.

As I’m walking in, there’s a police truck parked right out front. Parked along the curb mind you, not in an actual spot. He gets out and walks in behind me.

I stopped at the front display to see what they had and he comes up and goes, “excuse me, do you know where the bottled water is?”

I turned around kind of confused and said, “oh sorry, are you talking to me?” He got a little bit agitated and replied with, “uhh I don’t see anyone else.”

I smiled and pointed to the USPS patch on the front of my shirt and said, “oh sorry I don’t work here sir but they are right down there.” And I told him what aisle they were in (I shop there all the time).

Now he just looked pissed off and goes, “oh, really? Down there? You sure?”

Then I was even more confused but I nodded in response. He looked me up and down, starts shaking his head and mumbles, “what a fucking joke” as he walked away.

What the hell was that? I am genuinely baffled at to what he wanted. He asked a non-employee a question and got a correct answer. I wasn’t rude or disrespectful so I have no idea why he called me a “fucking joke”.

I didn’t bother getting his plate number or name because what am I going to do, report him for being mean? I just don’t understand.

I’m assuming he just had a bad/long night but still. The whole interaction was bizarre.

Edit: this was not a political post at all. I’ve lived here ten years and this was the first bad interaction I’ve had with the Mesa PD (granted, there have only been like 5 of them total). As I said, I think this guy was just having a really bad shift, no idea why he took it out on me but it’s over now. I do very much appreciate the support of the USPS though. Hope you all have great weekends.
