With all the Florida Men (and Women) around here, I’m not sure they could find a steady diet of _Braaaaiiiinnnnnzzzzz!_ They might well all starve or migrate elsewhere. But it’s long slow shamble all the way to the GA border, and not too many _Braaaaiiiinnnnnzzzzz!_ to be had much past there either. Florida: where the livin’ is easy and the zombiein’ is rough.
