    Florida, Oh Florida....

    Okay, it's official. I love Florida. Just spend 2 weeks there and was nearly killed to death by the heat. And apparently June isn't the hottest month. Went shooting at Oak Ridge Gun Range, shot pistol for the first time in 16 years and LOVED IT!!!! Anyone hiring in the Sunshine State? hehe
    It's 106 miles to Chicago. We've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses.

    Hit it.

      You'd love it! (Other than the heat, of course...)

      While I live in the frozen North (Ohio), I have family and friends in Florida.

      From a work perspective, you'll find that overall the pace is considerably slower than it is in cooler climes.

          I'd love a slower pace, beats being run up and down like a whore's knickers anyway!

                                  Oh, man, just thinking about the Village Inns makes me hungry! That's where we always stopped for breakfast.

                                  Their skillet breakfasts are the best!

                                      Friendly's meat lover's skillet is awesome too. Definitely had the meat sweats after that one. JSC - where are you staying on I-Drive? There's a place called Ponderosa, near stops 10 and 20 on the trolley. That's a good place to eat enough food to make you sick!

                                              I live in Tampa and the heat gets pretty unbearable in July - September. December - March is fantastic. So it's kinda opposite of Wisconsin! You pretty well go from airconditioned building to airconditioned car to airconditioned building as quickly as possible during the summer.
                                              If you love fishing, it's the place to be, especially now - during Tarpon season. Got salt & freshwater - best of both worlds. Golf courses galore, if that's your thing. Fantastic beaches. Got my own little slice of paradise with a pool and a bar in the backyard.
                                              One of the biggest perks is that we don't have a state income tax.

                                                          The only draw back during the winter months is the snowbirds doing 45 in a 70, or driving the golf carts down the rode.

                                                          What company do you work for?? I am always entertaining offers!!
                                                          And Star Trek was just a tv show...yeah right!
