Default Re: I Guess I Didn't Realize What "Snowbird Season" Meant

We have a good friend in south Florida who goes even beyond 'kvetching' or 'complaining' about snowbirds. He is positive vitriolic! When he pauses for breath, I generally interject (quickly), 'Aren't these the people who pay twelve months worth of taxes on their condos or homes and utilize the services of the community for only three or four months a year?' Not that it helps....

When my parents retired to Florida in the early '70s, I looked around and thought, 'What a great option this is for seniors.' And now 'I are one'--and a snowbird at that, here in TV!
