Why people move to Florida (photos)

The snowplow drivers love to bury cars in huge mounds of snow.

OK, I've had it. I'm out of here.

This is what happens when your garade door malfunctions in the middle of the night. I think that I would need to do more than call AAA to get my new porsche back on the road.

Tell us something.: You just slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
You don't need to be coy, Roy
Just get yourself free
Hop on the bus, Gus
You don't need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee
And get yourself free
Location: Loren has left the building.

Ahh, the gators......

Florida Alligators are everywhere: I had several close calls with gators while riding my mountain bike through the trails at Morris Bridge and Flatwoods in Tampa. A number of domestic dogs get eaten by gators every year, since the gators can be found in nearly every pond and lake in Florida. Alligators are very cool though, when observed from a safe distance.

And yeah, a little snow is nothing compared with a hurricane hitting you. Besides, most northerners whine like babies when the temperature gets above 85, let alone when the temperate spends months in the 90's, with high humidity.

I was thinking I would like to visit the Florida Everglades and the Gulf Coast of Florida after reading a really great trilogy by Peter Matthiessen that takes place in that area. I started looking at places to go and they were saying things like be careful of alligators on the trail. And then it showed people putting in a canoe and a sign talking about alligators in the water. And a man was talking about the Visitor's Center having a huge alligator in front of the door (just on that day, it wasn't a permanent thing I guess :lol: ) and it couldn't be disturbed so people were having to jump over it to get out of the building. It sort of disturbed me I must say! My husband seemed very lukewarm about the whole thing, so I didn't get very far.

Edited to say Hi Lamby!

Why people leave Florida: These things.

...But if you do visit and weary of all the tourist hype, don't miss the Real Florida: Century Village. :twisted:

Loved and thought himself beloved,

Gators is one of the many reasons I love Florida, and will most likely remain here for a good long while.

AMEN!!!! You're my new best friend.

Hi Loren. You're right. Anything over 80 with a dewpoint above 60 is just cause to cry like a baby around here.

I forgot yet another reason not to live in Florida: Palmetto Bug.

Ugh. I couldn't bear to post a picture.
