I could easily move to Florida again, even with all the insanity. I've got a brother still back there, and friends, so it could be a soft landing. And, there are plenty of Democratic voices around.

When you're in Florida, you can actually find plenty of . . . Florida, if you look.

Now that you're a Floridian, you can read some Carl Hiassen http://www.carlhiaasen.com/

Dave Barry http://www.davebarry.com/

and Edna Buchanan http://www.ednabuchanan.com/

and you can check out paintings by George and Ellis Buckner, and other Highwayman artists: http://www.thehighwaymen.com/index.html
