tell me what, if anything,
this global warming crap is doing to the climate in Arizona? Are
you guys going to be seeing 140F+ temps this summer? Is it
turning into a garden paradise? No real change? More mutants?

Hey, pass me that chunk of pipe, I wanna shove it between the gears

I've been practicing but it's a tough skill to learn: I wanna be
rilly, rilly good at accepting what the world dishes out, I think
there'll be big bucks in it by and by.
