It cracks me up to read these comments. 4.00 energy drinks on food stamps that has nothing to do with this article. Just another way for you old timers to stir things up. why is everyone so argumentative. you go to Arizona and enjoy your weather and those that choose to stay will be here enjoying whatever!

I have been stuck behind many old people in RV's on the 101, so dont go there. at least in AZ, nobody is buying 4.00 dollar energy drinks on food stamps. Get a job. Or go somewhere there is a job.

I had no idea there were so many out-of-towners reading The World online :)

FNORD said all that needed saying when he mentions living in Mesa which is in actuality greater Phoenix. That is not AZ by a long shot, and could be most closely related to living in Los Angeles. I don't for the AZ travel agency, but AZ is one of the most beautiful and diverse states I have ever enjoyed. I love the coast equally as well for its ambiance and beauty, but fot those curious would suggest a visit to the library and checking out a copy of Arizona Highways. Now that's AZ.

heh. tell me what the weather is like in Arizona after i lived there for five years. funny. It DOES get over 100 in May, and it did in 2007 when I was there visiting. Loved the mudstorms, the dust storms, the thunderstorms and the monsoon season. Stayed out of town as much as possible in the winter. If you haven't seen the giant motorhomes piloted by snowbirds putting along the roads 20 mph under the speed limit, you too have been driving with your eyes closed.
As with "7 years of abuse" i made it out of AZ without squashing a single golf cart or having been hit by a single motorhome.
For a short time, I lived in Mesa, where in the winter time the population triples, as does the accident rate. Good to get out of there in one piece.

I lived in Arizona for about 7 years, hated every summer! Loved the winters though. I also hated the temptation of running over seniors in golfcarts on the main roads. The temptation was almost too much for me, but I did good and ended up with 0 points. LOL

Thanks, al the pal, for the update. Only hope the Bandon Crossings course survives. As fnord said about the 110 temps its true in summer, but not likely in May. But will be home by then anyway.

I'm with you, Larry. Storm watching is great, but enough is enough at times. Visited AZ for a couple of winters before my wife passed and never saw a 50 foot motorhome going 10mph on a freeway. November through April were beautiful. FNORD must have been in Phoenix which would be anyone's mistake.

I just wish I could afford a motor home to go to Arizona some day. It's not lookin' good.

Already lived in AZ. You can keep it and your winter population tripling with 80-year-olds in 50-foot motorhomes going 10 mph on the freeway. And the May afternoons of 110 in the shade. I always loved the oregon coast winters.

Bandon has been washed away. Might as well stay in Az for the next couple of years!
