Why No One Used To LIve In Florida

One thing I have learned in the last three days is don't let those images of the sultry South fool you. No one would live here without A/C. It's just too hot and too buggy. It's as if every insect that's been shut out of the cold FL households has decided that it is open season on people.

In our house, the beauty that is my bride has alternated between threatening us with a butcher knife, and suggesting that Gulf Power folks should be hunted down like Al-Queda.

At one point my son and I thought about kidnapping a couple and holding them until the electricity flowed. But the heat got to us and we forgot what we were about to do.

But not having power did allow us an unfettered view of the stars tonight.

Somebody up there likes me.
