Tucson

Tuesday 8 January 2008

All the rain we had recently reminded me of my time in Tucson.  The first year I moved there was NOT a drought year.  It rained every day for a month.  Unfortunately, Tucson does not have a drainage system.  Rather, it doesn’t have an underground drainage system.  They use the streets instead.  This means that even if it rains a little, all the streets get flooded.  Unless you have hip high rain boots, don’t bother trying to walk around because they don’t have sidewalks so you have to wade through the ‘gutters’ or go down the middle of the street.  This may seem a bit negative and I’ll admit that when I think of all the places I want to visit in my life, Tucson isn’t even a place I want to pass through on the way to those places, but that’s just how Tucson is.
