indeed, and alot of them are retired civil service workers - which I think contributes to their politics. long island for example, had alot of republicans (at one time), I don't know where they all went.
I always felt I would move to Florida (especially today, chipping an inch of ice off my steps!) - but the more I read about what people post here about other parts of the country, the more those parts of the country seem to be moving towards what long island already is. so I might as well stay put.
Out by Jones Beach is really nice.
I was out there on Friday in Old Westbury. It was very nice, but the traffic is just terrible going anywhere.
