florida is nice -- especially when you can go outside with shorts and tshirts while the rest of you are freezing your nuts inside. still that is why you old grumpy ass yankees keep coming down and taking the fruit trees. there are none anymore. All they keep is building condos and condos to house your asses. On the positive side we did get our first chick filet finally they have been trying to get one in our town for like 10 years. saying we are to small and just drive 10 miles to the closest one. But we had 3 starbucks in 6 miles of each other.
If you were down here you would not have slipped on he ice. =) I think the last time it snowed here in Tampa was like 1977 even before my time here. I have seen a couple names i do recognize and it was nice. I honestly thought the game was on borrowed time back when I walked away. Hard to believe this is my 9th year away almost 10. I think in August. Best of Luck you all. really nice seeing the same groups still.

Back in the mid 80s we went to Orlando drove from lakeland down 75 then from Ocala we went down 301 to 441 there were orange trees everywhere so pretty. fast forward 12 years drove the same route, orange groves all gone or in piles and they were building housing, rural Fl. was so pretty and still is just not in that area.
