Things I've learned from 2 weeks in Florida...

[tnjavelin]

Alligators don't really exist. It's a propaganda scandal to keep out of towners from staying, I think. Kinda like moose in Canada...or snipe hunting.

Drivers over 80yrs old should probably be retested, but never challenged. They have no fear.

Old women are dirty...kinda scary.

Pelicans are like fighter jets when they dive into the ocean!

Drivers with Oregon plates (like on our van) get a lot of honks for going too slow...question mark...

Armadillos are much harder to catch by hand than one would think. They don't just roll up into a ball...they're pretty fast sprinters.

With enough wind, 75* can feel cold (very strange).

On a cloudy January day at the beach, you can turn into a lobster man.

Nipples don't peel.


That is all...

You were just south of me!

I'll tell you there's nothing more miserable than a bad cold front when you're down here. You mind says "sunny Florida" but your bones say the arctic! I've never understood how cold air can travel this far south and stay that cold!

And the gators are real...very real...

Oh, and if you want to catch a 'dillo...you need a car tire. Roll it about 60mph and you can catch all you want...even some you don't want!

Ya'll come back now...hear?

[Frogchunker]

All true except... The Gator part..

Florida can feel a lot colder than it actually is. Found that out my self over the last couple of years in Jan. Dillos are easy to catch you just have to be moving fast enough as stated in previous post. Gators do exsist IM me email and I can send proof. There cool looking from a distance but when they are rubbing there belly on the side of your boat it is kinda freaky but cool at the same time. When you hit on with your lower unit you stop and wonder what the hell was that. Cant be a log there is no trees on Okeechobee. Then you feel the boat toss side to side like a rough old roller coaster while sitting still and then the damn thing tries to crawl in the boat with you

As far as the sunburn its call SPF 80 and it works very well

And never-ever- drive into smoke!

And another I learned from experience. On a cool summer night (cool being a relative term), you can make it rain in your house if you shut off the air and open the windows!!

It's colder feeling in FL because of the humidity. Chills you to the bone.

took me 4 trips (roughly 50 days) to find a gator. Minding my own business fishing a brackish creek i turn a bend and i'm staring at one that i could touch with my fishing pole. They are real!!!
