I wish I had control of a giant array of orbital lasers.... |
|
So I could uise them to cutt Florida off from the United States and set the entire state adrift in the Atlantic.

8. It reminds me of a more urbanized version of Alaska, demographically. |

Lots of people who can't fit in "polite society".

4. You know, somehow Florida reminds me of a line from one of Bill Bryson's travel books.... |

He quotes a German tourist as saying, "Austria would be a beautiful country. If it wasn't for all the fucking Austrians."
I feel the same way about Florida. Present company excepted, of course.

7. I have a great story about Crescent City for you. |
|
A close friend of mine used to work there as a traveling nurse. she once decribed the locals of Crescent City as "skimmers", as in "just skimming the surface of the gene pool".
Anyway, one of the other staffers, who was a local, came into the hospital one morning very proud of her husband.
When asked about the situation, this local told of how her husband had a bad tooth. Unfortunately, while they had medical insurance, they had no dental.
So, hubby - also a local - ties a string to his bad tooth, and the other end of the string to a skeet-thrower.
Well, he didn't remove his tooth, but he DID break his jaw.
But that was good, since with a broken jaw, it was now a medical issue, which was covered by their insurance.
Only in NorCal.
