Oh Beny, those pictures even FELT good
Beautiful palms, sunshine and white sand.
I just finished sweeping half-frozen mud, gravel and snow out of my garage.
People in Florida are soooooo lucky!
Thanks for that eye candy!

Ok, thx Jim....
Im agree Barb, they don t know what kind of weather we have here. But everything is possible, and for me in the next few years...ill be a snowbird for sure ..I saw almost all the house in Kissimee (where i was) as a screened veranda over the pool and covering almost all the backyard . So, i supposed they have a lot of mosquito during the hot and humid summer.

Yeah, all that swamp water with their 1foot elevation above sea level.they have a lot of mosquito during the hot and humid summer
Proof that there's good and bad no matter where people live.
But I think we northerners appreciate warm sunshine more than Floridians do.
Plus we have no hurricanes.
That white sand looked soooooo nice, Beny.

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

Yes Jeff, i saw some Cocos nucifera at Clearwater, but there was in bad shape with just few leaves.
The sand was like flour, same texture...first time i saw that. Was very special.
Barb, you re right, but i think i d like to live with a hurricane every few years instead having snow storm every winter

The South Jersey shore is much nicer, cleaner and more family friendly than the Jersey shore from TV in North Jersey.....
