Got a fun email from transplanted Slice reader Tim Price in Arizona.

"Hi, Paul

"Well, I've been living in Phoenix now for just over four months. Here are my observations so far:

"1. There are no marmots here. That's just wrong!

"2. In Spokane people say that they're 'going to the lake.' In Phoenix they say 'we're going to the high country.' The high country makes up the entire northern half of the state.

"3. A car wash attendant was vacuuming out my car. As the young man vacuumed the back seat he pulled out my ice scraper/brush and asked 'What's this?'

"4. People here don't call Flagstaff 'Flagstaff.' That's so uncool. They call it 'Flag.' Maybe people in Washington should start calling Moses Lake 'Moses.'

"More later."
