I have been visiting Arizona for the last four months from the Flagstaff area to Willcox east of Tucson about 100 miles almost to El Paso. I only came here to wait for the snows to leave the Colorado mountains as I am relocating to the greater Denver area.
I only mention this because while I have been in the state of Az, I have purchased several loafs of store bought bread and found that most brands crumble in your hands while spreading butter on a slice. If you are lucky enough to make a sandwich in one piece-the first bite will cause the rest of the sandwich to crumble in your hands.
I even tried the Wonder bread name brand and though it holds together a little better you have to be very careful or else disaster occurs. To be honest, I have been making my sandwich and eating it with a fork. That just takes the fun out of it.
I searched the internet and it appears that I am the only one in Arizona who has this complaint. I can only assume that the native people have never known a good sandwich and take this cheap bread for granted..
So my question is- Does the high altitude have any bearing on this? Even the low lands in Arizona are high altitude. Willcox is as flat as you get but still 4000 feet above sea level. Or maybe it's the dry air?
Also let me add this little tidbit. Maybe you heard that if you have breathing problems then move to Arizona for the dry heat. Do Not listen to them. The wind blows constantly here and when the wind blows it is full of dirt and dust. My nose has not stopped running since I arrived. Not to mention that when it rains it does so by the bucket full and not normal drops. It rained the other night at the rv park I am staying and I opened the door in the morning and saw Cochise rowing by my front door with his hunting party. I needed my boots but they were in the back of my pickup so I was stuck until Tuesday.
You heard about Jesus turning water into wine at a certain wedding..? Well someone told me He came into the local saloon the other day to roust up some sinners.
He walked up to the bar and said to the bartender -Give me a tall glass of water and keep um comin.
So it has been nice meeting you and I look forward to hearing from you. Don the Baptist...
