Arizona rocks!

Where you stand on a thousand foot tall red rock mountain breathing in evergreen scented air while feeling like your on top of the world as the sun is shining down on you on a warm summer day.

The best state of the 50 states in the United States. This is paradise on earth, everyone is welcomed. Contrary to popular belief, Arizona does have four seasons, Sedona has winter, Phoenix the summer, and the rest in between. This place is full of botanical gardens, cacti everywhere. Everything is close from Arizona, California is 4 hours away, and other states are close by. Mexico is 4 hour drive, where no matter how old you are. Unlike Washington and Oregon, it doesn't rain as often as it does.

The best state in the country to live in if you want to avoid natural disasters and horrible weather. There are parts of the state where it doesn't go above 100 in the summer and it doesn't go below 20 in the winter. The only bad weather you have to worry about is a bad thunderstorm with strong wind. There are no earthquakes, tornados, hurricanes etc...
California has earthquakes. The midwest has floods and massive tornados. The southeastern states have hurricanes. The midwest, northwest, and northeastern states are below freezing all winter long. Many have summers with 75-90% muggy and oppressive humidity. Arizona has great weather all year round and is not prone to any type of natural disaster.

Hell, especially if you have a car with leather seats. Good luck going outside, because just the air alone will toast you. If you aren’t constantly cooling off, you will get heat stroke in minutes. Winter is the only time you can go outside if you're from up north. Welcome to the desert.
Oh, did I mention the monsoons?

The state that people visit during the winter time because the weather is nice.
Most Arizonans are immune to heat.

SCENE 1
Penpal from other state: What's up? How's the weather?
Person from Arizona: Oh it's great! I can't believe it actually went down to 120 today.
Penpal: ...ONE HUNDRED TWENTY? THATS FRICKIN HOT
Person: Huh? I can't even take my jacket off.
Penpal: *Catches on fire just thinking about it*
SCENE 2
I (Zuki, the author of this definition) have lived in Arizona my whole life. I have also never left my house in the summer.
Too bad the only season in Arizona is summer.
