I am by default very negative about Florida. Maybe it was the election. … Seriously, 90 percent of the “weird news” in this country originates in Florida. Every notice that? Plus a family member of mine followed love to Florida (Orlando area) and remarked when he moved there that he was shocked by the naked prejudice (N-word blasts etc.). (I know, we just keep it to ourselves here.) And too much rain, and dangerous snakes and poisonous toads.

I also must have lift-serviced skiing within a couple of hours of my home, so Florida is out for me.
