Statboy's comments aside ....

At one time the Phoenix / Scottsdale area was the home and playground of artists and forward thinking architects such as Frank Lloyd Wright. He has / had a number of very interesting homes and spaces there.  There are jewels there if one is willing to look.

I don't see any more trailer trash in Phoenix than in Manhattan or the Boroughs where the trailers are stacked on top of each other and called apartments.

My brother in law had some investment property in the Biltmore area that I visited a couple of years ago. The transition from that area to Scottsdale is pretty seamless now. 

But I suppose that back in Wright's time they were quite different.

'What's happened (there) since WWII'  has happened everywhere and now even Manhattan feels like a mall. Just add a glass dome and some kiddie rides

If I remember correctly he was well educated - with perhaps a semester or two Oxford or Cambridge etc.

He is / was also an editor / writer of a gun rag; An industry whose editorial integrity makes the folks at Conde Nast look like a Nobel Panel

In the 'gun world' he is considered a 'Fudd', a 'Square Ranger' or donut eater. This means he has the reputation of an arm chair general or a very opinionated man who remains untested in battle, a fight or even a mugging.

He probably thinks the 45 is a 'man's gun' that Glocks are 'Tupperware' and that ' they will blow up in your hands'

He is overweight and out of shape and can not get off the X.

He operates in a world where nobody around him knows any better or just doesn't care

He likes allen edmonds shoes
