MY sig. other and I look forward to becoming Arizonans. I promise you we are NOT liberals, and we look forward to being surrounded by more conservative people than here in California. Both of us are originally from other states: He from Lousiana and me from Michigan.
Neither of us is going to attempt to turn Arizona into a copy of California.
Thanks for your good wishes, and I agree with you.
Be sure to see Tombstone, Bisbee, Ramsey Canyon (the Humming Birds habitat), & Sierra Vista/Ft. Huachuca, when you get settled in.

Don't worry. If you come to Texas we promise not to laugh as you shed your political correctness :-)
