Keeshaba and I would like to wish all of you a happy holiday season. Keep it safe, sane and consensual, but make sure to have a lot of fun.
Merry Christmas, everyone.

Happy New Year from the "Great White North"....I am serious about the "White"...it's still snowing.

Should I not mention that I just went outside in shorts and barefoot, and was completely comfortable?

Well, I hear it hardly ever freezes in 'voters' hell.

My wife and I would gladly visit you for let's say.....Jan 1 to March 31 :lol

Hah. You think that, until you realize that we can get up into the 90's in March at times. Florida only has two seasons: Summer, and those three days in February. Here's an idea of how screwed up Florida is: You cannot grow tomatoes in the summer in Florida. Why not? Because tomatoes will not "fruit" if the temperature doesn't get below 75ยบ F at night.
In June - August, it doesn't.
This place, quite frankly, sucks. I know all you folks who live north of, say, Tennessee, think you want to live here... but the fact is, you have three or four months of nasty weather a year. We have about ten.
Not to mention the odd hurricane that threatens to flatten your house, or the odd sinkhole which threatens to make it disappear altogether...

Oh, and regarding the "voter's hell" comment: I don't want to get into politics, but I will point out that the voting problem in Florida is almost entirely restricted to southeast Florida. The REST of us figured out how to vote a long time ago. I cannot imagine how anyone would have had difficulty with the ballot that I voted on (but I gather that each county produces its own ballot...).
It would, I suppose, help if our supervisors of elections weren't being convicted of election-related misdoings, as the Broward county SoE was... *shrugs*

While we do have 4 seasons: Winter ( for 6 months) and the other three seasons just fight it out over the other 6 months.
And about tomatoes.....we can grow them here in a hot house.

I apologize if I offended you Eric, but I did put a smiley on there. Although Florida has problems with 2 counties, I'm sure other states including mine have some voter fraud going on. It's just that those two counties in Florida haven't learned how to do it on the sly... so to speak. Oh, and just to be clear, I'm against voter fraud of any kind and I wish the perpetrators would serve a really long time in jail or loose their citizenship.

Didn't offend me. I know this state sucks. I just wanted to make sure people were aware that it's not really a "Florida" problem. It's a "Broward/West Palm Beach" problem. As to doing it on the sly... they weren't even TRYING to be covert.

You should consider moving up here to Canada. Free healthcare, slightly less crazy politicians, and winter is 4-10 months depending on how far north you go.
Offline
Yeah, not going to comment on Canada, thanks.

We just call it "The Great White North"....easier to say then Canada.

...perhaps, but if we called anything "the great white" anything here, we'd be instantaneously accused of being racist, homophobic, misogynistic, and dyslexic. (No, that last one doesn't make any sense, but then, neither does the rest of it, so...)

yeah, I hate that crap, as an average white male, if I have any pride I MUST be oppressing someone. I really really miss common sense.

I miss the ability to punch stupid out of someone without going to jail.

You once had this ability? You must be very, very old...

Sadly I don't think anyone ever had the ability but I liked to think punching someone that stupid would help them not be stupid anymore. I don't think it ever worked.

My Dad always said: "You can't fix stupid". The older I get, the more I agree

In my opinion, a "Darwin Award" pretty much fixes stupid.

Not necessarily, 'cause not all Darwin Awards are posthumous.
