I think it's Randy Cassingham in the This Is True newsletter who |
30 |
often mentions the prevalence of crazy people n FL. |
31 |
Given the weather, it's no great surprise. The heat here makes me |
32 |
feel pretty looney sometimes. |

Do people down there spend an inordinate amount of time setting off |
35 |
explosives and shooting guns, like they do here in GA? Originally |
36 |
I'm from NE PA, which is a pretty redneck place. But GA is a whole |
37 |
nother thang, as they say. :) Most people are very nice though, it's |
38 |
refreshing. That obsession with explosions though... Nerve wracking. |

Never been further south than Alachua, which is actually pretty mellow |
41 |
from what I saw -- but that was in early spring. :) |
