A Retiree's Guide to the Great Outoors in Arizona

If you are thinking of coming to Arizona to retire, you are just unpacking and want to know about the environment known as the Arizona desert, I think I can help. That is, if you're really interested in learning more about the plants and animals of the desert that are as close as your backyard. If that is the case, then the book you are looking will do that. But this book is a lot more than a book on the plants and animals of the Arizona desert. It is about helping you not only help you know more about the good, bad and ugly plants, animals and insects - seems we've gotten our far share of publicity on things like the Africanized Honey Bees - but help you grow stronger physically - while you are still on this planet. After all, 10,000 steps a day does help to keep the grave digger away. Seriously, here's the concept in a nutshell, if you are an older person like me, who knows you weigh almost twice as much when you were young, mean and learn studs, and you want to live past 75th, you really need to know you are a ticking time bomb waiting to happen. You may have lost control of the belly roll to jelly and swiss rolls, but if you don't trim down, that extra tire you're carrying says your blood pressure is out of control. Increase your daily activities and stop eating like you're still 35, start believing that you can extend your life and enjoy the many charms the Arizona desert has to offer. With that off my chest, I'm about to tell you how I fell in love with the "warm and fuzzy feel of Arizona".
