That would be another reason to pray all day. Alachua County shows about 5 sinkhole sites on its 2009 map. Most of it, however, no sinkholes. Still, aquifer draining has a way of worsening it. Ah, if the good Lord wants me to die in a sinkhole I will.
(You'll get used to those exotic critters after a while too. It might take just a bit longer, however, to get used to the daily thunderstorms that come and go every afternoon -- if it's anything like Central Florida there!) :-)
I found this sentence in the Wikipedia page for Gainesville, Fl:
"Also in 2007, Gainesville was ranked as one of the 'best places to live and play' in the United States by National Geographic Adventure."
