Dang. I thought Phoenix was the third largest city in the nation. This census will settle that question. It'll be close for sure. The current listed 'third' is Chicago, but their time is way done.

Sometimes I wish I lived on the other side of the (dry) Gila River. As it is right now I live in what is known as the Gadsen Purchase, a triangle of land that was purchased by the US from Mexico so they could draw a straight line on the map and have full claim to the ford at Yuma. Anyway, the other side of the Gila is the old Arizona Republic. In my mind the difference is in citizenship claims. So I am officially a citizen of Arizona with no claim to the Republic.

Well, sir, you have earned a couple days off from the law. Your grasp and understanding of the language is truly wonderful. I haven't had a lawyer represent me for a quite a while, but I did allow that I was representing myself when what I meant to say is "I am myself".

I hope I don't have to, but I'll remember that difference if necessary.

Thanks Sult. I really do appreciate the time and effort!
