2. Wish this place had a Wegmans. Attention Dutch New Yorkers stop wintering in Florida, and winter in AZ instead.
3. The guy that dropped my car off couldnt tell me how many times he had crossed the US - he has done it so often. Before he picked up my car he went through South Carolina and then up to New Jersey before heading west to AZ and CA. He said he makes a lot of money this time of year from the 'snowbirds' who fly from NY/NJ to Florida and truck their cars in.
4. I dumped the rental last night. Had a Bulgarian taxi driver on the return. Nice fellow. He said that traffic in summer is not an issue, but winter there are a tonne of extra cars on the road because of people winterizing.
5. Phoenix only has about four major arterials which everyone travels on. In the morning the traffic reports are the same; there are at least four accidents, with one on each arterial. This is the city of traffic accidents.
6. Miles in commute: 23.7
7. Gas consumed in commute: 28.3 mpg
8. Time on commute: 30 mins
9. Summary: not too far off a mile a minute, and I shoot about a gallon of gas each time. That is not too much of an issue. The city is one big grid, so if there is genuine gridlock it is simple enough to work your way N/S on the traffic lights roads.
10. Bed base I bought wont arrive until the end of the month. (dammit).
11. Car when it came off the truck was filthy. The guy said the one up front are worse with all the bug splatter (mine was on the very back and didnt get moved on the trip). So I found a local car wash and spent some money to have it completely detailed, claybar'd and buffed. It looks awesome!
12. This place has a pool and gym. I have been hitting the pool nearly every night, and hit the gym the other night. Have to get my two bobs worth.
