Re:I moved from northern California to Tucson 1 Year, 2 Months ago  
Thanks TWOWHEELTHERAPY for the comment.
We did feel like we were going through a lot.

While we were moving we had to have internet to look for a house in Tucson.
The iPad mini 2's that we were using are very expensive and if you watch a youtube
video the Verizon ISP kept asking us to pay for more data use. Like every third video!
Very Annoying and expensive.
If you like Youtube videos do not buy the iPad mini 2. We sold them after we had our house.

When you move the first thing you have to do is get a drivers license in the state you are moving to.
Then you can get a bank account and finally then you can rent an apartment.
Just in case you wondered what order to do it .

I was able to get license plates for my motorcycle and van in Tucson but my motorcycle trailer was a real problem.
I could not find the title and called the dealer where I bought my trailer in California.
They said they did not give me a title! It is called a PTI (a paperless title).
For cars it is now called a ELT (electronic title)
The problem is you have to get three MORE pieces of paper and send them to the state where you are from.
Then they can issue a real paper title . Then you can go apply for new license plates in the state you are moving to.
A real mess and I am still waiting for a paper title.
If you buy a used vehicle and pay cash, DO NOT close the deal until you have the PAPER title in your hands!

Yes...well we had one small scorpion in our house already and we have pest control!
I do not like them.

I still do not know what to do if I get stung by a Scorpion.

Hey Don, I think they tell you to bend over, grab your ankles and kiss your ass goodbye. Just kidding of course.
Here in Florida, most of the scorpions are not to terrible, but I don't know about out there.

Re:I moved from northern California to Tucson 1 Year, 2 Months ago  
When I was in High School in Hialeah (Miami area) one of my buddies got stung while sleeping. It was on his inner thigh and his balls swelled up to the size of baseballs. A group of us buddies visited him at home and he said the sting wasn't so bad but trying to walk even to the toilet was very painful due to the swelling and pain in his testicles. Of course we tried not to laugh but once one of us started in then the rest of us couldn't stifle it any longer and his mother ended up coming in and throwing us all out of the house. After that we all checked our bedding and shoes for scorpions before getting in. valkyguy wrote:

Pesky things aren't they, if you leave a black light on you can see em at night. Also a high freq noise emitter helps , but if you have pets it might hurt their ears if the freq is to low. Wait till it dries out and lighting bolts emit from your fingertips every time You touch something. I got in the habit of touching stuff with My keys first, still sparks but doesn't hurt.

Most scorpion stings aren't that serious unless it's a Bark Scorpion, which does live in the American SW.
They’re light tan with a little darker back and are about about 2-3 inches long.
If you have a UV/black light scorpions may glow in the dark.

Re:I moved from northern California to Tucson 1 Year, 2 Months ago  
Growing up in Texas I was stung many times by scorpions, no big deal, like a wasp sting. When I moved to Arizona I started seeing people being Medivacced for scorpion stings, and I thought, what a bunch of pussies, can't take a little scorpion sting. Then I learned about the Bark Scorpion. It will fk you up. Problem is, they look just like the regular scorpions. No one in my family has been stung in Arizona but I have found a few scorpions, only 1 in this house we are in now. Looked like a plain old scorpion to me, I guess I would have to see them side by side to tell the difference, and even then, judging by the description, there's not much difference.

Now that you have (most) everything registered in Arizona, you'll find you can do all your tag and D.L. renewals online at servicearizona.com. You won't have to go to the DMV again unless you buy another vehicle. It's a great system. In Texas, few things are more dreaded than having to renew your tags. Slow lines and asshole tellers rue the day. Plus there's none of those pesky annual vehicle inspections in Arizona.

There's some decent riding down there. A ride up the mountain is always fun, though not this time of year, there's probably snow up there, at the very least it's colder than shit. You have the BioDome north of Tucson, and Tombstone to the south. Venturing out further, some of the cool rides are Devil's Canyon, Salt River Canyon, Show Low, Payson, Prescott, Yarnell Mountain, Sedona, Flagstaff and of course the Grand Canyon.

Is there some deep underlying connection in PB's youth and Where He resides. "Scorpion's", an being stung by them. Maybe that's why He is so grumpy?
One More Note: If you can find the hole they are coming in, squirt some foam in there and seal it up, and there might be more than one entrance for the pesky critters. Mike/EZ
