I was out once and it was 20 below zero. Imagine leaving Florida in July and being somewhere that is 20 below zero. For that matter imagine Florida when air conditioning was rare.
I spent a summer in Plantation, Florida, in a house that had no air conditioning. It was unbearable at night because that's when the heat really settles in from the day under sunshine. During the day I spent most of my time outside, often "stealing" a space at the hotel pool at the beach (since I wasn't a paying guest) or interviewing for a job. That was when I realized in the deepest depths of my soul that I hated Florida. My opinion hasn't changed. The Villages is a great community. It's just a shame it's in Florida.
