Could be worse, you could live in Floriduh.

It can be rough living where everyone vacations. Ask Povol
Traffic is a nightmare from all the UK and Pacific Northwest tourists trying to warm up and dry off.

The Keys were especially bad yesterday. It was freezing at 300' altitude. Temperatures must have dropped down to 75.

There's virtually no elevation changes in most of Fl. Maybe that's why there are so many flat-earthers there. Other than in Miami -it's a gastronomic wasteland. Bland fish or a fatty T-bone, a potato, over-steamed broccoli and stale key-lime pie for miles and miles.

Actually the manatee sushi is first class.

How could I forget the worst part. All those obnoxious, unmannered and classless, Nu Yorkiz dat comez down herezz and tell youzz howitz done in NY.

Oh yeah... and Floriduh is largely peopled by sun-wrinkled people who're chronically insecure because they live in a cultural void that has made them the butt of many of the funniest jokes. Floriduh has over the years become the comedic code word for provincial. Floriduh a state that has virtually no industry except Spring Break and exports nothing except indigestion and sunburn.

Wait....it sounds like you are talking about Azzinona

As Lewis Grizzard said “ 75 runs north and Delta is ready when you are” a quote he used when transplanted Yanks insisted we do things their way. Why is it a group of people will abandon a region because of bad politics only to try and institute those same bad politics where they relocate. We have the halfbacks here. These are the ones who couldn’t assimilate in Florida, got halfway home and discovered paradise. We welcome them with the warning that they leave their politics behind and for the most part they do.

People don't leave the North because of bad politics. They move south because their arteries have hardened, and can't stand the cold anymore.

Politics... people take them with them wherever they go.

I would argue that there's no such thing as good politics, but let's not get into that.
There is a saying down here, " we don't care how you do it up north "

I laugh when people disparage Florida because they don't consider that most people in Florida aren't from here. It's the most transient state in the union.
Those people your making fun of very well could have come from your state.
