    What do people do in Arizona? EDIT: Updated w/pics

    Actually, it's cooler at the rim of the canyon both summer and winter. The difference is in the winter it's downright cold on the rim. It snows there in winter.

    How come these ploynomials I'm making up for my self never have any real x-intercepts?
