  To all the people wanting to move here from New York, Chicago and California as well as many other heavily populated cities across the country, as well as those considering a visit: Before you come to Arizona you must be aware of what is happening here – especially, around the rural and, well, all of Arizona. <br> <br>There&apos;s a housing shortage and rent has tripled. The various Arizona police agencies shoot first and ask questions later. <br> <br>So, if you plan on moving to Arizona, or just plan on vacationing in our deserts, hill country, mountains or lakes, I think you should also know that poisonous Gila Monsters, tarantulas and rattlesnakes have infested resorts, office buildings, churches, and recreational sites across the area due to dryer and hotter than usual weather. <br> <br>What few bodies of water we have are infested with mosquitos. West Nile Virus has not only re-emerged but cultivated into a new strain which has no vaccine or cure. Death occurs typically in 3-10 days. <br> <br>The suburbs are overrun with mountain lions and black bears who are killing cyclists. These lions and bears are as big as a Volkswagen Beetle. These have eaten many domesticated animals and possibly some small children. We have had bear and lion sightings at every park and town, and they are after picnic baskets. Mexican wolves (repopulated by Arizona Game and Fish) have been spotted near motel rooms and bars. <br> <br>Snakes... don’t even get me started on the Diamondback Rattlers here. The indigenous Diamondbacks are cross breeding with Burmese pythons. We find them in our garages and even at the front door in the mornings. Several have reported them six meters in length. The hospitals have no anti-venom for these hybridized serpents. <br> <br>The major cities are full of drunks and fentanyl addicts peeing on themselves. Vicious cartels govern the state. At the behest of the Sinaloan Crime Family our State House of Representatives is sending a bill to the Senate whereas Xylazine would be sold over the counter as a recreational drug. Conversely, the outer municipalities (Gila Bend, Globe, et al.) have outlawed deodorants such as Axe and Old Spice because these products contain alcohol. <br> <br>We have the rabies-infected black-footed ferrets invading our parks and their mating season is Labor Day-Memorial Day. Unfortunately, Porcupines and armadillos (both also rabid) from Texas have migrated in great numbers and are &quot;stabbing&quot; small children should they dare utilize the local playground equipment. Javelinas, especially mamas with piglets in tow (also rabid), will gore curiosity seekers to death. Skunks (also rabid) have made their way to Arizona and multiplied at unprecedented rates and wander the local campgrounds in packs looking for beer. <br> <br>There are great swarms of murderous African bees that attack anyone with a sweet drink in hand. Giant grasshoppers are devouring gardens and clouds of locusts have laid lawns barren. <br> <br>Scorpions emerge from shower drains and no longer congregate under rocks, logs, steps, automobiles – the good news: after 3-4 stings (if you survive) you are henceforward immune. <br> <br>Parasitic head lice build nests in your hair and we have vampire bats &nbsp;(also rabid) clinging under roof overhangs – if you walk out after dusk, they’ll latch on to you. <br> <br>Also, no one is vaccinated here! And everyone carries a gun.

  Nice to see Canyon de Chelly was pronounced correctly. &nbsp;Too many people making AI voice generated videos but never preview before posting.
