Thread Name: What's the matter with Florida?
Subject: RE: What's the matter with Florida?
I probably won't go anywhere Paul. I can't afford to pull up roots of 46 years and start over. I'm 52 now and as my wife points out we would just get settled someplace else and would probably have to move right back to Florida. I understand most of the northern states have a law that as soon as a person turns 60 they must move to Florida and do their part in clogging roads. I have always threatened that when I retire I will move to Ohio and just make a career out of driving slow. LEJ is right! We should all keep a stiff upper lip and whatever else we can keep up and fight this thing!!!
we're also the home of Gamble Rogers, Will McLean, Marjorie Stoneman Douglas, Marjory Kinnan Rawlings, Patrick Smith, Lawton Chiles...and Gatorade. Yes, and there are other treasures as well. 'Pappa' Hemingway made his home in Key West, Robin Plit wrote 'The Jupiter Light', and I'm sure this list could grow if given more thought!
