There is a town in UK called Sidmouth in Devon.
To the best of my knowledge, locals have been calling the place Gods waiting room for decades.
So many retire there.

What's your point? It doesn't take a PhD to see the article is a political hit piece on the governor who had the temerity to compare our state's more favorable record in contrast to New York's.

If you've been here any length of time you will hear Villagers refer to themselves as "Q-tips" and "frogs." The former refers to the color of their hair (although hair salons are quite plentiful). The latter, they're here until they croak.

Inappropriate...
He could have said:

I suspect he lost some votes...

Accurate.

Look at this graph showing percentage of age over 65

United States - Population 65 years and over, percent by State
So Florida is #2, by 0.1%. I assume that in the #1 state, Maine, people are too frozen to move. In the #3 state, West Virginia, people are too poor to move, but lots more of the young people have left for better opportunities elsewhere. In #2 Florida, we are shriveled on the tree in the sun, waiting for a stiff wind or a bulldozer.

Maybe call Florida The Devil’s Diving Board. (Laughing)
