With weather like this all year long, and dozens of incredible golf courses, it's logical that we'd be good at golf, right?

Extreme heat, snow storms, monsoons and those beautiful, horrible haboobs - we're unfazed. When a huge dust storm hits, we carry on. Monsoon? No problem! We know how to hunker down and get through the most volatile weather in the country.

You'll have to actually go to Mexico to find better Mexican food! We even improved on it a little. What's better than a burrito? A deep-fried burrito (aka chimichanga), which Arizonans invented.

When it gets hots here, we know the best place to cool off - swimming pools!Many of us have our own backyard pools, but even those who don't have access to public pools. We learn to swim as small children in Arizona.
