Sure, and you have lots of sand, too, perhaps more than Florida. OTOH, there is something to be said for green woodlands (not that scraggly things you call trees), and actual oceans, lakes, and miles of beaches. I don't recall that you have much in the way of sailing, canoeing, snorkeling or fishing, at least none that doesn't have something to do with /a/ dam. And you import Key Lime Pie from where? [R] |

"Robert Morrisette" wrote in message ... You are lucky. Almost every year hurricanes hit Florida, kill people and cost billions of dollars. How can you stand the high temperatures and humidity? Sabu Robert... you might want to reconsider that statement.... I lived in Florida for over 25 years and endured only one hurricane. During that time, many storms came close, very few hit the state. The only one of much consequence was Andrew, thought there were others. None of these but Andrew did the sort of damage that any of the four from this season did to Florida. There was ONE that hit from the gulf side that did some damage up in the Big Bend area, but all the others were pretty much rain events. Having come from Illinois, I can tell you that the humidity was to laugh at when I could sit on my porch in shorts in February and the scuba diving was far superior to the sort of mud baths we would get in the quarries up north.

The only trouble is that the water is a couple of hundred miles away. I live in FL because it is one of the last bastions of freedom in the US. |
