Funny, I noticed the same thing trying to get gas at Sams the other day. And checking out at Walmart. And trying to get a tee time -- and when I finally got one, the greens and tees were a mess! And the guys who are perpetually working on 441 apparently messed up the lights last January, just to make sure we hit every single one! Did you notice how they never removed all the cones and stuff when they finished the new lanes? Crazy!

It's just weird. I've lived here four years, and I've noticed that in January it always goes crazy, just like a big city, for about four months every year -- and then suddenly like magic, in May it becomes a friendly small town in Florida again.

The only thing I can think of is, all those Florida folks who moved here to just to wait on us for $13.50/hr must go crazy in the winter when the temperature drops below 60! It must be a "Florida Man" thing!

So I don't know if another Home Depot is going to help. They'll just have to hire another batch of Florida folks to man it, and they'll go crazy for four months every year, too, right?
