A friend one day asked me if I thought it was going to rain and I replied, "it's not a question of whether if it will rain, but when. If one plans to do something outside for a while, it would be better to performed in the early AM, or in the evening.

Coming from New York, I don't find the traffic to be that terrible during the winter season. On must accept the fact it is going to take a little longer to get where you need to be. After all, we are in a rush to go, where? I think it would be prudent to take extra care as non residents, may not navigate the roundabouts correctly. Plus, there are more cars on the road. It's always good to drive defensively.

All in all, I take Florida over the snow regions, any day. They have getting slammed in the northeast, with the snow.

Life is good, in TV.

We get daily T-storms because we live in the lightning capitol of the World. Sea Breezes from the Gulf and Atlantic converge here and uplift all of that hot humid air creating our storms. Typical of Florida in the Summer. My wife and I grew up when AC was a luxury (although almost every house I lived in on Key West at least had bedroom window units) but my wife grew up in LA (lower alabama). Her house in Panama City only had jalousie windows. Key West High only had one wing with AC so it was always fun sweating on our tests. Try living here in the summer without AC, it's not fun.
