Tucson oddness

I'm in Tucson on business. And true to form, the fundies reached out for me on the flight over. The old lady across the isle handed me a mini bible. I refused it, but she keep pushing it my way anyway. I eventually took it and slipped it into the trash when the flight attendant walked by. She winked at me.

The man to my left on the window seat insisted on telling me the story of his conversion. I was nice at first, but then realized he was in full on witness mode. I put my headphones on, pumped up Nirvana, and ignored him. He kept trying to talk to me, even through a loud rendition of Dumb. I eventually told him to shut the fuck up using my loud scary voice. He shut up.

People... Christians in particular, do not try to recruit for your team on planes. It is just not nice or fair. If we tell you off, you've earned it.

I thought thus last guy was praying, but it turns out he had a bad back.

I've spend a lot of time on Southwest (and other carriers as well) and have never had anyone make any sort of religious comments at all. Perhaps I'm just to scary looking :)

I try to be nice since I qualify as a big scary man. I think it opens the door to them.

Sadly, Arizona is moving more and more to the crazy end of the political / religious spectrum. There are those of us however who recognize this, and we try to poke holes in the pro crazy arguments wherever and however we can.

Enjoy your time in our city! The weather is going to be stellar for the next few days, and we have a plethora of interesting and diverse events that would make for some fantastic photography happening right now as well.

I love Tucson in winter. I brought my camera and plan to take a lot of photos. I shot a few doves this morning. They were beautiful.
