Maybe we should encourage a "Draft Dave Barry for Florida Governor Campaign." There is little doubt that he'd win in a landslide, but then again "landslides", unlike hurricanes, are unnatural events in Florida. And if Mr. Barry really wants to join the rest of humanity, experience a real life in his declining years, then politics are not where it's at. I withdraw this proposal!

Cheerily,
Charley Noble, who cherishes a personal note of thanks from Mr. Barry for a submission
