MOST people do NOT think that we are immune to anything bad happening here. You have to live here for awhile to see that most of US aren't the same mix that you left behind in your homogeneous city. It is just that it isn't likely AT this point for any number of obvious reasons. We do have poorer areas around us, but not radicalized people. I would worry more AT THIS POINT at being targeted by the crooks who live in Orlando who are on drugs, thinking that we old people who they think have a lot of money are easy marks. We have had burglaries and break ins and thank goodness our law enforcement from all three counties have quickly followed up and found the perps. The sad thing is they don't stay locked up very long.


Yes, we are soft targets, but many of the people who live here have guns and know how to use them and just because we are older we aren't a bunch of people who have no sense. You seemed shocked a couple of times when I made jokes that showed I know what sex is about. We are just older, we are not yet dead. Not all of us are senile.
