I think I prefer the ads in Spanish.
I didn’t clearly capture what the phrase was they used to describe the economy, but thought it was relevant to today’s xkcd comic. Coming here, I see that it is a four-word phrase and not five. Not really satisfying-sounding either.
I assumed I was getting Spanish ads because the location algorithm kind of worked and picked up on me being in New Mexico. Today I got one begging me to fill out the census form so New Mexico can get their federal goodies over the next ten years.
I sometimes get them in Spanish, too, and I’m in the most Asian part of the Detroit suburbs. 😁
Chad Benson overlooked a major aspect of comparison with New York and other environs, to places like Arizona: we can also be out playing golf in flip-flops, in November, and December, and January…
When my brother moved there for a job, his new boss said, “You can golf ten months a year.”
Brother: “I suppose it does get a little cold in January and February?”
Boss: “No, the months to forget are July and August when the heat and the monsoon rains come.”
