Observations from Florida

1. Cockroaches are as BIG as they say. Even if they "call" them something else. They aren't fooling me.
2. Bad drivers (people driving cars, not golf clubs) should always be given the right of way and kept at a safe distance.
3. Southern hospitality still exists.
4. There are people who have NEVER seen snow. NEVER! I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't met them myself.
5. I come from the generation who says "google it" when needing to find something on the internet. I met an elderly gentleman who says "I asked my computer to find...". Seriously made me laugh as I thought of a scene from a Star Trek movie.
6. You hear the funniest conversations in stores. An elderly couple at SAM'S club was looking at the many choices of underwear available for her and the husband says "This kind looks like it won't give you a wedgie and has good rear coverage."
7. Apparently breakfast buffets are so popular here that they have them at the Chinese Buffet places. Who knew? A little odd but food was good.

If I have additional observations that aren't necessarily obvious, like the winter here is awesome!, I will add to this post.

1. Here's a weather alert I never saw while living in Kansas: "HIGH SURF ADVISORY". To which I say, "YAHOO! Ride 'em surfer dude."
