Nowadays I live in the Ft. Lauderdale area. No longer Miami. I've been all over the country and came to the conclusion that Broward County with all its faults (like a corrupt Democrat machine) is still the best place in the continental USA to live. That really holds true during the winter months when we continue to enjoy mostly balmy weather. South Carolina? Still a bit too cold in the winter for me. Southern California? Eden there has pretty much turned to hell. Nope, South Florida and specifically Broward for me.

Oh, and for a devoted couponeer it is absolute heaven. The BEST place of them all to work coupon magic.

South Florida FYI.

BTW, another reason that I like Broward County are the Friday/Saturday jerk pork/chicken meals served up in the industrial parks. This is the most OUTSTANDING method for cooking pork or chicken using the Jamaican jerk method and then smoke cooking it. You won't find this in most of the rest of the country but in South Florida it has become a tradition for Jamaican folks to cook this up in the industrial parks and sell to the local workers and to the general public. I always see a local cook, Carlton, who serves me up my meals in exchange for FREE stuff I get with coupons. Once I felt real generous and traded two Neuragen diabetes pain gels for a meal. Since each retails for $29.99 I often joke with Carlton that he got paid 60 bucks for one meal.

And in just an hour, I will be seeing Carlton for my Friday jerk meal. Probably will trade him several bottles of body wash or perhaps a Gillette razor kit for a meal. For me it is like a barter game.

Once you eat either jerk chicken or jerk pork, you will never again be satisfied with the regular barbeque versions of either.

dinosaur media death watch ping

=============Note the new DECEITFUL method of counting “verified print and digital circulation” in the total which means newspapers they GIVE AWAY to schools and other places. Not PAID circulation.==============

These are the media’s ways; how they circle the wagons around each other for each other.

ABC’s higher ups are smart enough to know that they need ‘cover’ from newspapers, just as the newspapers need ABC’s(and other outlets) cover in order to do what they do.

The more the old media declines, the more dangerous of a position the find themselves in.

That’s why the left needs net neutrality so much. What’s the biggest threat to the old order? The internet.

Glad you like Broward County and south Florida in general. I grew up in Hollywood many, many, years ago.

The only way I would go back is if the plane carrying my dead carcass had to land for gas.
