no taller than a grasshopper's knee

welp, yes welp, i'm just landed in lovely Phoenix for a week for work. my first conversation with a native was at my hotel. while i was checking in i found out that my "homestay specialist" has a calcium deficiency and drinks a gallon of milk a day. he's been doing this since he was "no taller than a grasshopper's knee." hummm.. is that Arizona slang? gonna have to use that one while i'm out here.

while driving from the 2x4 hotel "lobby" to my room, i passed two fine looking gentleman. one looked like Mr. Clean with tats while the other looked like he was a Hells Angle/meth cooker. maybe we'll all be friends by friday. i thought to myself, "my room DOES have a kitchen with a working stove. maybe this is a cookers hotel if you know what i mean."

research ahead.
