My version of strange and wonderful was the desert of Arizona. In 2014, 126,000 left New York City. That's what newgeography.com found. Probably  Probably for many of those, it was a soul-wrenching decision. After all, you can make the big money in the Big Apple. And, it has a mystique, just like Harvard, Elvis, and Vogue Magazine. My reasons for fleeing the New York Metro area in 2014 ranged from the high cost of housing, which was getting higher all the time.

And the few people in the border town of Nogales, Arizona, were testament to that. The heat was nearly unbearable. Before walking across the border to Mexico, you have to pony up about four dollars to park your car. One of the facilities for that is a fast-food restaurant. Usually you wait patiently to indicate the color of your car and pay the cash. The town is normally sleepy. That day it was dead. Then the Ugly American type comes in. He asked me whom you pay.

 When she introduced herself to me at a church gathering in Arizona, all she said was that she was a writer. I had to pump this author for more information.  Along the Northeast Corridor, there would have been the mandatory tag line, actually a long laundry list of credentials.  That could include "My new nonfiction book X is in the 20,000s ranking on Amazon.com and I ghostwrite for Z politico." " "I write about trailer trash."

The Senate in Arizona has approved a bill to accept bitcoin and other specified cryptocurrencies as payment for taxes. The bill moves to the Arizona House. Here are more details. This represents a smart branding tactic for the desert state.    To begin with, just playing around with this proposal brings media attention. I'm from the public relations school of thought that all media attention, positive and negative, is of value.

It was the government of Arizona which allowed startup Theranos to allow consumers to have blood tests without a medical doctor's authorization. Progressive move? Right? Wasn't that going to encourage tech enterprises and more mature enterprises to settle in that desert/mountain state? Eventually, Theranos, which hadn't actually developed the proprietary technology it touted, wound up being sued by consumers for inaccurate tests.

As I drive in, Macy's is on the left, J.C. on the right. I always head right. Once in J.C. I gleefully endure long lines to get into the dressing room and to then check out. On those lines other shoppers and I gush about the deals. During the summer, for an onsite assignment I needed new clothes.

Here in Southern Arizona, it's been an ice box for days. I relocated to Arizona to not have a heat bill at all. The East Coast is bracing for a coatless Christmas Eve. And Christmas morning, children will glaze over when they unwrap sweaters and mittens. Yeah, parents et al., you screwed up again on the gift front. But, don't be too sure that the theory about global warming is proving itself out. In our residences our heat is on high. We have to warm up our cars.

Roger, Tucson, Arizona. Okay, I did have Reward Points From Fry's (One of Kroger Supermarket Brands). Those totaled a 20-cents discount per gallon at Fry's gasoline pumps, on 1st Avenue and E. But, still, even without it, I would have filled up the empty tank of the Chevy Colbalt for less than half what it had cost last April when I filled up on Foxon Road, in New Haven, Connecticut. For those who love details, the total sale today was $18.32. What does that mean?

Anti-Semitism seems to have returned to the supposed melting pot: the U.S. Yesterday, there were 11 bomb threats targeted at Jewish Community Centers (JCC) reported. The U.S. had provided the opportunity for so many Eastern Europeans to begin a life of religious freedom and economic opportunity back in the early 20th century. My relatives were among them. My mother's maiden name was "Miksza."

This year, I had relocated to Tucson, AZ in time to enjoy his coverage. I was impressed. Now, John Schuster tells us in "Media Watch" at the Tucson Weekly, ASD had laid off Villarreal.  That was after 17 years of service.

Arizona  was  cheap. In April 2014, I pulled up my little but pricey life in the New York Metro area and journeyed to Tucson, AZ.    Through the internet I had rented an efficiency for $400 a month. There was also an added $30 a month for the dog rental. In addition, once I arrived in what would be Paradise Found for getting my finances in order, I signed up for the electricity for air-conditioning and heat. Regarding the latter, yes, Tucson has a winter.

It's amazing more of us are not being shot in road-rage incidents. Yesterday, after the driver in back of me honked, once we stopped at a light I struggled for control.
