Down here in West Palm Beach FL area, we have a new class of unemployed or street people, a.k.a. homeless persons. Unemployment is extremely high, almost 20% here in WPB Florida, other places it could be higher. Gasoline prices are high as well, about five cents above national average,the Florida Keys(Key Largo to Key West) prices are even higher for gasoline.
There is news about a high speed rail line going between Tampa and Jacksonville and Miami FL. This will produce jobs; both short term, people constructing it, and long term, people running the rail line.
Scrapple on white toast with kecthup and hot sauce. Steamy cup of Joe. Breakfast of champions. Wheres the ice cream shop at. Would like to stop by for a cone.
The more we talk about it, staying where we are might be the best idea. We live 2 blocks from Barnegat Bay, the boat is a 1/2 mile away. My taxes are reasonable. My daughter bought the house across the street. My neighbors are GREAT. Gas is $2.41 - $2.45 as of coming home from work a 1/2 hour ago and the attendant pumps it for that price.
I’m a Yankee, and have to keep reminding some that dirt is black, not red, gravy is brown, not white, grits is a system for telling how rough your sandpaper is, and iced tea is made with water, not simple syrup.
Welcome. Lot of talk here about Yankee vs Southern.
Guess I’m backwards (as usual). Family moved north when I was a kid. Back in the '70s I was in New Awlens (that’s New Orleans to you Yanks) for a few years. They thought I was one, too.
Found out the difference between a Yankee and damn Yankee. Yankees visit the South for a while. Damn Yankees move there.
By the way, grits are to eat, but mixed with your over medium eggs, not drowned in butter.
To get your gasoline pumped you need one of two things; first a Handicap sign or placard from the rearview mirror or two, you pay an extra 21 to 30 cents a gallon for somebody to pump your gas down here. This is Florida!! Even politicians charge you for any kind of an answer, speaking of politicians about a third of our prison population is former politicians[#oops] that got caught doing wrong[banghead]. Also the Driver’s License offices, the clerks were selling licenses to alien residents.
Wherever you go there is good and bad. I don’t think that there is a perfect place except on our layouts. Time for bed, 4:45 comes around quick. We have a big conference call on the preperations for the “BIG SNOW STORM”.
