Not A Zonie Explained

When I lived in Washington state I use to see allot of Arizona car tags- I mean ALLOT of them too! I asked a person one day why all the people from Arizona came to Washington, the reply I got was,"Skiing". Apparently people from Arizona don't get enough powder and they have to travel to get the white stuff under their waxed up ski's.
I know reside in the rice capital of the USA, Arkansas. When someone addresses my address over the phone and say Arizona when they refer to my address and see AR..
I personally would not be cought living in the desert heat where even snakes and scorpions have a hard time making it.
