Dr. Thiele vs. Old Conservatives, apparently

I am still in Arizona. You may be wondering what horrible things have happened to me so far. Well, even if you're not, prepare to find out.

1. Some guy at a Chevron in Bakersfield yelled at me for swearing. I wasn't swearing at him, for fuck's sake. I didn't even think he could hear me. Stupid bible belt of California.
2. My brother and I almost got in a fist fight with an old crippled guy outside of a Trader Joe's in Scottsdale. How obscenely banal. It happened because my dad parked sideways across three handicaped parking spaces, but still. That old hippie had it coming to him. We didn't actually fight him, but he said that my dad drives like shit, so my brother said "With all due respect sir..." and flipped him off. It all went downhill from there. In the end, I told him to suck my cock. That seemed to throw him.
3. That is all.

I have learned on this trip that the way to keep life interesting in Arizona is to piss off the old. Also, I saw an exhibit of relics from the Titanic. That killed a few hours, but was depressing because it really illustrates the way poor people are more likely to die of hypothermia in the North Atlantic. It must be genetic or something.

It is flat, dry, and Republican here, and I'm not heading to Mexico until Saturday. Prepare to envy me, internet!
