There's a story about an immigrant waiting on line at Ellis Island to be granted admittance to the United States. After a long wait, they let him enter the country. He turns around to the immigrant standing behind him and yells "go back where you came from...you immigrants are ruining this country". I love my snowbird neighbors and friends. But I also admit that I also enjoy the brief window when the snowbirds head north, traffic and crowds thin out, and the weather is still beautiful before the heat of summer hits us. My enjoyment of a less crowded community does NOT mean that I don't value all the great friends I have made that are seasonal.
