Wow... scary stuff!

Forewarned is forearmed, though. I bet there are many people who were brought up not to ask too many questions.

Question: is it time to start looking at leaving Florida?

I posted this elsewhere, too. Cuz I'm really starting to wonder, seriously, but I don't have all the facts or any of the local sensibility. I live all the way across the country anyway, so how could I know or understand?

As I said in another thread, I don't claim to speak for anybody else here other than myself.

And I do not doubt that many good and decent people live in Florida.

But the long-range view is not good.

Over the next decades, we stand to lose large parts of the Sunshine State to the waters. The projections are not friendly. Low-lying land, on porous underpinnings susceptible to salt water. And the waters keep coming. Nothing will stop the Gulf or the ocean from eating away at the peninsula.

Others here have a much greater understanding, perspective, and personal experience than I do on this.

I'd really appreciate your thinking. And thank you in advance.

I was gonna start a thread about this. I'd really appreciate the thinking on this.

Wow! She's really good!

Love the acoustics!

This!!!!!

Shit.

Fucker got away there, too. Well, hopefully the staff was safe.

Looks like McConnell isn't the only one having a meltdown.

Cool!!!

Definitely a keeper!

I can't help wondering what he offered her for these friendly rulings.

First, of course, he gave her that job. And I bet he insinuated a few things, without actually spelling it out. He’s pretty good at that. My dad used to operate that way, although on a much, much smaller scale. He could lead you to the conclusion he wanted you to reach without raising a finger. He was a skilled manipulator. But the donald is in a class by himself.

Aw, Coventina, here's a hug:
