I missed you on these group when i kill filed you. I turned down three job offers in California when I moved south. I too, looked at the job market, cost of living and all the other details and said Screw those freaks! I was hired at the first place I applied when I arrived in Florida, and had no trouble finding work, until my health failed completely. Freaks? By your standards, probably so. SF is jammed with smart, creative, energetic, athletic, multiracial, often quirky people. And wonderful women. It's physically intricate and spectacular. It's a hotbed of technology: silicon, biotech, software. Only when compared to the cesspool you grew up in. It is full of dying tech companies that have outsourced their production. It is full of liars, has beens, wannabes, neverwillbes and plastic yuppie vermin who think they are important. This area has a lot of manufacturing, including a lot of Lockheed Martin plants in Ocala and Orlando. How's the temperature down there? It's going to be warm here today, high of 68F predicted. We're headed up into the mountains, where I plan to snow ski on the 4th of July. Freaky! It was 88 and slightly cloudy, and just humid enough to keep the snowbirds and west coast liberal losers away. Who the hell wants to ski? I would have stayed in Alaska if i gave a damn about dodging trees on a couple scraps of a pallet. You can ski year round near Delta Junction. You can hunt and fish, if that floats your boat. I found the place boring as hell, but some GIs retired there and loved it. After I rented my first apartment here, I was alarmed to find that there was no air conditioning and no window screens. Didn't need them. I didn't need air conditioning until my health failed. 95 degrees and the humidity didn't bother me a bit, since i grew up without it in the Ohio River Valley. If you prefer living in a flat swamp or a bleak desert, that's your choice. We are the freaks, and you are the people who stayed behind. It's obvious you don't know a dammed thing about Florida but that's no surprise, considering how little you know about anything. This isn't swampland, and I have never seen any desert in Florida. This area is mostly Pine and oak forests. The country's largest retirement community is a few miles south of here, there is plenty to do year round, and we don't have brain dead old hippies running the state. Marion County has quite a few world class horse farms, and very rich soil. My best friend from my time in the service lives in Bakersfield, and has tried to get me to move out there since the late '70s, but I have always turned him down because I just can't see myself living there. As far as the Board of Stupidvisors goes, we're happy for them to debate goldfish. Keeps them from passing more serious laws, 98% of which we'd ignore anyhow. Again, it's no surprise that you ignore any laws. the fact that they even consider such legislation proves just how ****ed up the place is. This is Harry Street, which is actually just a wooden staircase; 237 steps, by my count. I can't imagine how the people who live on Harry deal with groceries and refrigerators and pianos. ftp://jjlarkin.lmi.net/Harry_1.jpg ftp://jjlarkin.lmi.net/Harry_2.jpg ftp://jjlarkin.lmi.net/Harry_3.jpg What the hell does that have to do with North Central Florida? There are very few steps in Central Florida. Yes, you need AC for part of the year, but until a few years ago, most people didn't need a lot of heat in the winter. A central fan to blow warm air from the house and through the attic was all that was used in the '60s in this area to cool a house enough to sleep. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Central_Florida -- It's easy to think outside the box, when you have a cutting torch. |

Some commentary I read about Pelosi years ago said that most of her constituents were renters rather than owners. Any truth in that? -- Reply in group, but if emailing add one more zero, and remove the last word. |

SF was one of my 'hangs'/'roams' in the late 60's and early 70's. ?-/ SF is surprisingly green. Tons of trees, even in dense residential neighborhoods... not Downtown, of course. Check Google Earth. The city is a maze of stairways, dirt lanes, hiking trails, tunnels, beaches. I live two blocks from a real canyon, with a stream and a family of coyotes. I pick blackberries all over my neighborhood. I couldn't stand to live in New York or LA or anymiserableburb in Arizona, but SF is a good mix of city and wilderness. Sure it's expensive. Maybe a billion people would like to live here, and the ones who can afford it, do. We just met one guy who did "the California Dream", namely surfing in the morning and snow skiing in the afternoon. And we met a bartender who managed to snow ski, golf, and water ski the same day, before work. John |

We used to hang out around Destin and Pensacola in the summer (the first good white sand out of the Mississippi sound) and I had a girlfriend in Tampa once. Nice girls in Florida. But it is hot and flat, and has lots of pollen-makers, all things I can do without. I grew up in New Orleans and never got used to the heat/humidity/ragweed/bugs/yats. Mosquitoes are apparently gourmands, and my tender flesh appeals to them. They call their friends. John |
