Florida - The freedom potential is wonderful. If only the summers weren’t so bloody hot.

I know, right? Also, I'm not a fan of the gmo mosquitoes.

Yeah those “skeeters” are awful. The sand gnats are even worse. They just love to bite your feet. Can turn a day at the beach into torture.

I grew up in South Georgia 30 miles from the FL line. When it came time for college, I couldn’t wait to get away. Been 50 + yrs and never once regretted leaving. The changing seasons are also awe inspiring. In 1950 the population of Florida was just over 2 million - now it’s 22 million. The only reason this happened was air conditioning. Just imagine what a hell hole it would be without it.

Makes me want to move to Florida. Next governor might be a democrat that wrecks the joint again.

Yup. And yes... we're always potentially one election away from disaster. We need to change the whole system.
