Reason #124 why Arizona is weird
In Arizona, people do things differently. The bad thing about living here is I find that I’m becoming like them. Weird.
For instance, it’s raining right now. This is the first time it’s rained in 145 days. It’s amazing, I know. The rain is amazing, not the fact that it hadn’t rained for 145 days.
So when people spot rain, chaos ensues.
School is cancelled.
Car wrecks happen at every intersection, every country road, and every where there happens to be a car.
The local newscaster says, “Forget about that story that talks about some ‘radical religious leader’ who blew up and killed a couple thousand people. Folks, it’s raining!”
Little kids cry because they don’t understand who is spraying them with water.
Grandpa’s spontaneously combust.
Everyone has been confused for the past few days because there were clouds in the sky. What are those puffy white things? Why are they blocking the sun, the beautiful sun? Why are they spitting at us?
Now I need to go investigate this “water” to see if it’s actually what the weather man says it is. It could be toxic acid from aliens. I’m not totally sure what it is.

Sounds intense.
Isn’t spontaneous combustion the coolest thing ever to witness firsthand?
In 1984 and 1985 I covered the police beat for the Phoenix Gazette, and part of my job was that if it rained I had to write a story about it. Usually the story made the front page.
