Does that seem like a good idea?  I mean, I know there&#8217;s the Secret Service and all that, but still.  As long as Joe from Tempe is still on the loose, I think I&#8217;d stay away from Arizona &#8211; especially if I was black, Mexican, or a mythical liberal.  Of course, I don&#8217;t like the heat, so I&#8217;d stay away from there anyway.  Unless it would get me out of going back to work today.<\/p>\n<p>Down there in Atlanta, though, I reckon they wouldn&#8217;t mind some of the Arizona desert weather.  It&#8217;s difficult not to chuckle when I <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ajc.com\/news\/metro-atlanta-prepares-for-799110.html\">read something like this<\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>Heavy snow is expected to begin falling in the Atlanta area tonight, possibly reaching three to five inches&#8230;.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>But of course they just don&#8217;t have the equipment or expertise to deal with snow and ice down there.  For one thing, it takes money &#8211; in the form of tax dollars.  And we know how much people hate taxes.<\/p>\n<p>Here, after getting, oh, I dunno, maybe five inches or so through noon yesterday, the snow stopped, and I was able to scrape the driveway down.  More snow this afternoon, though, and it&#8217;s supposed to snow all week long.  Nothing major.  A few inches here, a few inches there.  More where I live, I&#8217;m sure. If things stay true to form, it should be kind of shitty tonight, because it&#8217;s garbage night.  And the weather always sucks on garbage night. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Obama plans on traveling to and speaking at a memorial service in Tuscon tomorrow.
