Living Large in Scottsdale

Some pretty large living goes on here in Scottsdale. "Average" isn't in the vocabulary. Ugly doesn't exist. Everyone here is living life in the "world of wonderful" as my high school buddy (Jeff Smith, RIP), would put it. SUV's are required driving. Million dollar homes are passe'.

Not that I mind. I've never eschewed prosperity because those are the folks who employ me. So, prosper on, Scottsdale, and every other community who can "capitalize" on capitalism. That's what keeps the economy going and the working folks working. I hate it when I have to work for poor people...There's always that uncomfortable feeling that you might not get paid.

My idea of "living large" in Arizona is to take in as many local amenities as possible. Today it was the "positive rays!"

I'm fairly well traveled, domestically and abroad, and there are two places I've been where you can honestly say the heat has a palpable feel to it, and as far as I'm concerned, that's a good thing. Scottsdale is one of those places. You can really feel the heat pressing down on you. It's not a matter of just being hot; it really feels as if it's pressing down on you. Some might think it to be oppressive, but I don't. I love it!

I'm not one who avoids the sun, or uses #95 sun screen. Pardon my political incorrectness, but I actually try to soak up those positive, vitamin D enriched rays as often as possible whenever I come to Phoenix.

That's what I did today. It was wonderful and it was totally relaxing. The time I spent laying out in the very hot Arizona afternoon sun was extremely therapeutic and medicinal. I only wish there was more time for this fulfilling activity.

In the meantime, I'll continue to serve my "eeeevil" wealthy customers who fly me out here and put me up in fine accommodations and reimburse me for all my expenses. I wonder how many people became homeless so that I could be here serving the "eeeevil" idle rich, the winners of life's lottery?
