I positively didn't know about the "wet" season and the "dry" season -- both of which have proven true in my 1 year here.

Lastly, I positively didn't know that the wages for work done in Central Florida were 33% - 50% lower than the same work performed in another state (East Coast). This was a complete shock and completely my error to have not researched.
We’ll worded responses BigSteph!
