Now, it's about to be under water thanks to climate change. Oh yeah, it's also about 150 degrees there and filled w rednecks who constantly get in the news for bizarre crimes. Great place.

Denis is this really how you want to talk about someone's home state? What a sweeping and unflattering generality.
There certianly are some strange news stories that come out of Fla. and it is hard not to laugh at the absurdity of some of them.
But I wonder if you have ever been there. You clearly have strong opinions of the place, are they based only on the news stories?
I did a trip this summer with my Brother from the Keys up to the pan handle. Mostly on the west coast. Met many very nice folks ( southern hospitality is real ).
And saw an interesting range of country, from the amazing Everglades, to some nice rolling hills with old growth live oaks covered with Spanish moss. Saw miles of totally indeveloped coast, some nice Old Fla towns seemingly unchanged in years.
It was a nice eye opening trip. Saw many areas that have escaped the growth the has so impacted parts of the east coast.
It's great that you have found a place that suits you so well. City's are a good fit for the aggressive belligerent types.
Califorina is a wonderful varied state, but does have its share of problems too.
Say an earth quake comes along and causes major damage in one of the nuclear power plants causing big contaminating leaks (heaven forbid )
Would that mean tha everyone in the area is a hopeless looser for living there?
Or some big problem occurs in the water supply system draining the surrounding states to supply the masses in so cal. Would that mean that the parched folks in those cities are all fools and looser for living there.
Maybe a little compassion for others dealing with a big problem would be appropriate.
Baz, Bell, ury914, and our own racing BVD. Just a few of our fellow Pelicans that call Fla. home.
