Whatever you do DON'T move to Florida. The weather sucks here.:w:w:w
Well there's cockroaches everywhere. One thing we have in Florida is bugs. There's so many bugs that the roaches have a bug problem. As far as rats, I've never seen one in a palm tree. Tree rats (aka squirrels) on the other hand there are by the million. I HATE squirrels with every fiber of my being.
So in addition to the bugs we have tree frogs as big as your hand, snakes bigger around than a motorcycle rear tire and as long as a semi trailer, Eastern diamondback rattlesnakes 8 feet long that have a head the size of a salad plate, iguanas 6 feet long, alligators that live to be 50, 17 feet long and weigh 1000 lbs. and, in addition American crocodiles that are even bigger. The really dangerous critters though are ones you can't even see. Amebas that can cause meningitis and other flesh eating kinds of things that are hard to pronounce.
But the really, really dangerous critters are the two legged ones that shoot each other over a parking spot.
Well that's comforting.
Nothing personal Bob. The biggest problem we have in Florida is population growth. My wife's family moved here from New York and I told them, "Before, when you came to visit you were Yankees. Now that you have moved permanently to Florida you're damn Yankees."
Perspective is key though. It was 95° F here today...and summer isn't even close yet.
The heat is not fun, but...
I made plans to go visit my Dad in the Central Valley of California. I will be there for the 4th of July. My Dad said its about time I came back to my home when its warm. I told him that is not warm. Thats an oven and if I can help it I will be in his house with the AC on and a fan. Not looking forward to the heat I was raised in. Here it never gets to 3 digits. There 3 digits is normal.
