The tremendous pollen from all the alien plants brought there from all over the world caused me unending grief. I lived my life in the mental fog caused by the unending need to continuously dose my body with anti-histamine drugs.

Here in Colorado Springs, my only allergy is to ragweed pollen and that is minor and it lasts from August until our first big freeze; usually late September. When I first moved here I thought I had died and gone to heaven. For the first time in my life I could breathe. I no longer needed to take those drugs.

Furthermore, we have clean water. The water here comes off the snow pack on the front range. It is clean, cold, refreshing and it has not yet passed through even one kidney. The last time I took a swig of water from the tap in Scottsdale, I almost threw up. I had forgotten how disgusting it tasted.

To be fair, most water in Phoenix also comes from snow melt. But our water is gross that is objectively true.

Oh come on! Your water passed through Coors FIRST...
I miss my Montana well water, so cold it'd crack your teeth and needed no filtering to make it taste good!

Despicable Air would still be a better name than something like Talking Stick Air (which is a despicable name for a venue). Can you imagine if Phoenix would ever obtain another airline HQ to name it Talking Stick Air? I can just see the ads: "fly Talking Stick and we'll really stick it to you!" Or "once you're on board, you're stuck with the Stick!"
