How do I know about what is going on locally, I guess you missed the part where I said I read the Sun everyday, that's how. What's goes on in Washington I could care less. It's amazing when I'm on the treadmill at MVP most mornings and my Tv has on ESPN "Get Up" with Mike Greenberg and I see all the other screens tuned into this media show on the other channels. I think, this was just like the 80's with Iran/Contra all over Tv, and where did that go, nowhere.

Moving here to avoid crime, I can tell you I grew in St. Petersburg, that's two hours away and I graduated from SPHS in '68. I considered that, I lived in Pensacola for six years and I considered that place, and I lived in Savannah for 8 years and I considered that place. The TV won out, for exactly the reasons I mentioned.
