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

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

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.

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

And the women in their bikini tops:

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

Naples... the home of "sugar" sand...

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.)

Me and Tour visited there before the trek to Miami for the Dolphin's game. Nice enough. Z will have to eventually give me a report on how the place I stayed at (Cove Inn on Naples Bay) fared. Agreed on the 90 degrees, 90% humidity you get in Florida every day in the summer. Was in Tampa in October for the wife's cousin's wedding. It felt like a bad summer July day in Ohio. No thank you. I'm not a hot weather beach kind of guy. My biggest let down in life? Seeing the ocean for the first time. A big SO WHAT? Once you can't see the other side (Lake Erie) doesn't matter if it's 100 or 2,000 miles away. With unlimited resources, Florida November to March and Anchorage in the summer would be my scenario.
Florida wimps get their blood thinned out by that constant heat. True story- I was down in the Keys one January for the Winter Star Party, that's astronomy, not Bogie and Bacall. About 2AM thought- it's getting a little cool, maybe I should put on a sweater. Saw two guys from Miami wearing parkas and gloves. Had to restrain a good laugh.

That happens here as well. As much as y'all think I'm a wuss for not liking cold weather, you should see the people here in their gloves and ski hats big jackets when its in the high 50's

Ditto... first year in Houston (moved down in July and was met with a string of 95+ deg days with 90% humidity... Florida ain't got shit on Houston) the heaviest thing I wore thru the Winter was a fleece lined windbreaker. Natives were in longjohns when it hit 50 deg.
Winter #2? I was pretty much with them. The bitch about humidity is that it makes heat hotter and cold more biting... It just ain't fair.
Then there's London... I've walked around that city in every season and it's always the same... I end up cold and sweating.

I have had people wearing gloves and parkas around here in the winter as well. Of course, I live in Northeast Ohio....where is does actually get cold.

I went to Italy 2 years ago on a family trip.. Touring the Pompeii ruins was the best. it was a great trip all the way around.

And it....and Naples will get buried again someday.
Of that , I have no doubt...

Right???? I thought it was just me. I had no idea if I was too hot or too cold. It's like you walk into some weird temperature vortex where your body isn't happy no matter what.
