Yeah, I’m okay with this. As a long time Floridian, I’m quite comfortable sipping my coffee on the back deck with 97% humidity. When everyone north of Georgia is freezing their ass off in January, I’m enjoying a walk in the woods in a long sleeved shirt.
True Floridians migrate away from the coasts and the population centers. Real Florida is in the woods and the fields. We were, and I believe still are, one of the largest domestic producers of cattle in the US. Lots of wide open spaces here.
I’m with you on that! We bought acreage at least 10 miles from any “town center”, if you know what I mean. Can’t stand traffic. We have to go to Tallahassee for one of doctors and I hate every minute of the city traffic. Hubby was born and raised in St. Pete and he wouldn’t move out of Florida for anything. He never saw snow in person until he went up to Ohio with me a few years ago for a funeral! Our beef is the snowbirds that come down here during the winter and take all the camping spots in all the state parks and forestry sites. Fall and winter is the best time to go camping here in Florida and it is darn hard to get a spot and yet we need the “tourists dollars” for Florida.
