…and just to clarify: If you are thinking about moving to a stereotypical, sitcom-like Florida - do not live anywhare north of I(nterstate)4. Tampa, Orlando, and Daytons are all right on I4 so they’re ok, but north of that and you might as well be in GA, AL, SC, or any other souther-esque state. Fort Myers is one of the three hottest cities in the country for average temperature… I just remembered that. ---

Everything I need to know about Florida, I learned from Carl Hiaasen’s collection of columns titled _Kick Ass._ It’s there that I learned that gathering around a stinky car to see if the police will pull a week-old corpse out of the trunk is an officially recognized spectator sport. 😉 ---
