Why do people live where it snows? I can't imagine going out and
having months and months and months of horrible cold wet snow. It snows every year why would you do that to yourself? Why would people live in Kansas where there are tornadoes every year? Why would people live in California because of the smog and earthquakes and mudslides? People live where they want because they like what is there.

Don't they get tired of having to evacuate every summer, and having their houses destroyed? Someone explain this to me. |

Don't they get tired of having to evacuate every summer, and having their houses destroyed? Someone explain this to me. Well , hurricanes are one reason but Florida has a host of others to stay away: 1. Cockroaches ......LOTS OF EM ( also known as "palmetto bugs" in order to water down the icky factor, don't be fooled though, they are just larger roaches......that fly........very well) and a plethora of other pests that you WILL come into contact with on a personal level whether you want to or not..........this includes scorpions and brown recluse spiders btw, both poisonous. 2. Staggering humidity ( well not all of florida but anything south of the tropical line is brutal) 3. Job market isn't so great. 4. There ain't no mountains, not a one!. There has basically GOT to be something wrong with that. In fact , the highest point in the state is only a measely *345* feet high!. 5. Swamps........hell most of the state is a swamp. 6. Highest percentage of over 80 year olds behind the wheel of a car.......THAT can't be a good thing. 7. Alot of white trash, yeah I know that can be found in alot of states. Just seems worse in Florida for some reason though. 8. Basically Florida has one or 2 seasons, depending on where you live in the state. For a 4 season kinda guy like me , not a good thing. 9. Alligators coming into contact with people in or near their homes, killing or maiming them and/or their pets. It's not a good thing. Been happening more frequently too. 10. FLORIDIANS ARE VOTING-MACHINE CHALLENGED. In case any of you are wondering, yeah I spent a couple of years in that awful state. Enjoy the remainder of your evening. Were your years in Florida all spent living under an overpass in a moving box that was infested with Palmetto bugs? You forgot to mention the fire ants, the tourists and the 6 month anxiety attack called "Hurricane Season" that results from the shrill and unrelenting stream of warnings from the media. None of it does any good either... Ü |

Terry Gowan What do you call the purchase of a home on the east side of a coastal highway? An investment in future ocean front property. |
