Hey thanks Angie...

There's a reason those houses in the Rust Belt sell for eighty thousand dollars, and it's called SNOW. The purchase price may be low, but you have to heat the damned things six months out of the year. Then there are all those weird clothing items... fur lined gloves (gloves?) Thermal insullated jackets with hoods, Ear Muffs, Over Coats (Yeah... you know... a coat that you put on, on top of your coat... what the?) and how 'bout dem rubber boots?

Yeah... we said no thanks to the purchase of a house in Ohio a few years ago... Three stories, plus full basement, All brick construction, eight thousand square feet, an attached greenhouse/solarium straight out of an Aggatha Christie novel, spiral starecase direct from gone with the wind, seven bathrooms, more bedrooms than I can remember, a thousand square foot guest house over the carriage house... all for just under three hundred thousand dollars. SNOW!

My wife has relatives in Florida, and they all say we should live there... Do you like snakes Angie? Neither do I... in fact, I hate 'em. I don't want to have to share my garden with Rattle snakes, Copper heads, and Cotton Mouths, and I don't want to have to worry about stepping on them while I'm running from an aligator when I go for a walk either.

The houses in Florida are not too expensive... we could buy twice the house we have now, and still have money in the bank. We'd also have to put up with neighbors who think that a garage made out of PVC Pipe, and a big blue plastic tarp actually increases property values, and that two or three cars on the front lawn sitting up on blocks is a requisite display of material wealth.

Yeah... I'd rather be a haolie in paradise, haunted by the ghost of Israel Kamakawiwo'ole, than to be howled at by my neighbors nine stinking dogs, while Jimmy Buffet urges me to eat one more cheese burger

You ever been to Florida Angie? The highest point in the entire state is three hundred and thirty five feet above sea level. Sure... you can go anwywere you want in Florida, without going up and down winding or twisting roads, and it can take the entire day to drive from one end of the state to the other, but the scenery never changes... it's all the same... long straight flat sections of road leading through snake infested swamps, to big flat swampy snake infested forests.

Do you know where those flying cockroaches in Hawaii came from Angie? Some Cuban from Florida brought them there in his luggage, that's how! At least he didn't bring the poisonous spiders with him.
