If he goes into construction he should.

Though the smart thing would be to just let the swamp reclaim all those homes and for him to move to like Ohio. Or, back to Pa....where he can hammer Steeler fans all day and all night.

Nope, don't live in a swamp, never going to live up North, and the Real Estate market will be booming by November.

We live in paradise. We know the cost: Three hurricanes in 100 years. You buy insurance, and then lock up and go. Knoxville was fun.

Reclaimed swamp?.  Naples may be nice....a place I do want to visit someday....but I do not think I would ever want to live in the southeast.  The Sweat Belt.  The Southwest?  Perhaps. 

I have threatened to retire to southern Ireland.  The climate is quite mild there. Do you know that Palm trees grow there? ( I would actually have the legal right to do so....as my mother was an Irish citizen...but, I would not likely leave the US...since my kids and family are here...but I have threatened it.)

Fuck Florida.  Old fucks, swamp, heat, humidity, bugs, snakes, gators.  Flat as hell.

I always piss my wife off when I tell people, "When one of us dies, I'm moving to the Caribbean because no way will she go with me now."

I also tell my kids I want my ashes scattered in the Caribbean, "because it's the only damn way I can get her to go there." For some reason she doesn't get mad about that line.

So fucking glad I won't run into you on my Beach.

[Tour2ma]

Is that how your beach looks today?

Look what the Venezuelans did to my beach. I lived in Palma Sola just down the beach to the left of this area and hiked to this point which had a pristine white sandy beach and a reef on that point that came into the beach and allowed for clear, calm waters. There was nothing but a coconut plantation where they built that power plant. Now  google map shows what happened to that point. At least they made a national park further to the west where we had the best snorkeling.

Nothing special about that at all.  Looks like Edgewater park.

The Paradise I am looking for is the one by the dashboard light.

Yep.

Cane came inland. Beaches minimal difference, just a little wider and sandier.

Nope. Nope, it doesn't.

White sand, sea oats and palm trees. Unbroken miles of natural beach.

All props to that beach, but it looks like brown sand that was trucked in and fully clothed folks dipping in a cold lake.

Do you have a February picture?

See? Steel gray beauty, with 'white' sand and a little mist.

[The Gipper]

But....the beaches in Florida have such wonderful sights.  The sand, the sun, the moon:

This is actually a very cool photo.....arguments aside.

[The Gipper]

And don't forget the wonders and the beauty of Melanoma.

Just busting Z's chops.   I look forward to some day walking on the Naples Beach.  (but I will have to take steps to avoid overexposure to the sun...been there, done that...and it ain't fun).

And, despites the dangers in Naples Fla. from Hurricanes....that other Naples (Italy) is actually in far more danger. When Vesuvius blows, and it will blow, it will take Naples with it.

She could go into the dairy business.
