Coincidence or Fate?
OK, I'm mildly freaked out. If Lileks writes about going to the beach in Delaware anytime soon, I'll be really freaked out. He just went to Scottsdale. Our vacation last year (not this past year - thus pre-dating the blog) was to Pheonix - which is adjacent to Scottsdale. We hooked up with friends (she - my junior year R.A., we had singles across the hall from each other; he - one of the thousands who were my brother's housemates at 2101 Santa Cruz; both - maried to each other yet not introduced by my brother or I) who took us to the Sugerbowl. Before that, he went to Vegas. Well, I wrote about my recent trip to Vegas too.
I know what you're thinking (besides the fact that Lileks writes much better than I) - he also goes on about his annual trips to New York. Well, I just found out today that I have to go to Newark, which is close enough to elevate my freak out level past orange.

It is a great place to live and a great place to visit, especially in the Winter and early spring. However, Arizona does have very tough DUI and other criminal laws, and many people who vacation here don't realize it, and end up flying out of hear with a summons to appear in criminal court.
It is only a several hour drive to Vegas too. Did you have fun at the Sugarbowl?
Posted by: arizona attorney at January 18, 2004 07:52 PMWe went in July and stayed at a Hilton resort where we had a great time.
Being from St. Louis, we figured how bad could the heat be? Well, it is different - in St. Louis, the humidity is oppressive, while in Phoenix, the temperature is wearying. The only bad day was when we went to the zoo and we were out walking around near mid day. We laughed at the natives complaining about the 10-15% humidity - we were the only people who wanted to sit outside at dinner time.
We had fun at the Sugarbowl - I'd go back.
