You know you're in Arizona when...
-You've signed so many petitions to recall governors that you can't
remember the name of the incumbent.
-You notice your car overheating before you drive it.
-You can say Hohokam and people don't think you're laughing funny.

-You see more irrigation water flowing down the street than there is in the
Salt River.
-You know a swamp cooler is not a happy hour drink.
-You can say 115 degrees without fainting.
-You can be in the snow, then drive for an hour and it will be over 100
degrees.
-You have to go to a fake beach for some fake waves.
-You quickly discover (in July) that it only takes two fingers to drive
your car.

-You run your air conditioner in the middle of winter so you can use
your fireplace.

-You realize that Valley Fever isn't a disco dance.
-Hotter water comes from the cold water tap than the hot one.

-It's noon in July, kids are on summer vacation, and not one person is moving
on the streets.
-You actually burn your hand opening the car door.
-Sunscreen is sold year round, kept at the front of the checkout
counter, a formula less than 30 SPF is a joke, and you wear it

actually buy them.

the air inside.
