Hey Hasbeen,
I spent about a week in Houma, acutally south of there in the Bayou, this past winter helping get some houses rebuilt. Incredible damage down there caused by Rita. I met some tough people down there, a lot of folk in those small towns were slow to get any Fema help. Neighbors just hunkered down with other neighbors, making do and helping out. As many as 20 and 30 people were living under one roof while they helped rehab for one another. Chuck |

Scott; The door is always open for winter visits here in Lake Wales.
MM; Do NOT stop posting pics, we love 'em. hasbeen; used to repo cars with my bro-in-law up in Ohio. Lots fun. He started doin' that after he gave up bein' a bounty hunter and "skip-tracer" for the courts. So I always felt pretty safe with him. Daylight repos were the best. Who wants to grab at night when the guy is sleeping when you can grab them while they are in the store or McD's? john |

Please do not tell him to stop posting that picture. That is probably the best picture ever posted on this site.

boat dr.. Your in Lousiana aren't you? Where exactly, Years ago I lived in New Orleans. I was a repo man for Ford and worked the bayou's of South Lousiana... Houma, Thibidoux, Grand Isle etc. Now thats another story. By the way I don't feed gators I eat them. Turn about is only fair play.

I was born in Ohio,Lived in Texas one year...Didn't like it. Moved to Fl,and stayed four years.Moved back to Oh,and stayed two years,then back to Fl again. This time, I bought a house on the beach just south of Clearwater beach, thinking it would not be as Hot. That lasted for seven more years. I couldn't take the heat and low Pay anymore, so in 1997 we moved back to Ohio.Love it here! More money, more house, and better weather...IMHO, but I'm always ready for a visit to the Sunshine State

I've lived in Ma$$, then Florida and now in NC. I'll take Florida any day. Problem with NC is the water is full of clay. Can't see more then 2 feet down when the water is stirred up. Ma$$ has great water but the season is a bit short. Now Florida. I just loved to call up north in Feb. when I was on the intercostal and they were blowing snow.

I have 4 mexican ladies working for me, great workers but not a lick of english. I hired a college kid to come in twice a week and atleast teach them some basic english so we can communicate.
First thing they learned.... Can I have a raise? Time to fire that damn interpreter. |

their's more illegal mexicans in Indiana than there are down here in FL and the traffic isn't any worse than any other big city in the US, The wages suck unless you find 12.00/hr a high paying job.

has been skier;as far as the Mexicans go,feed them to the gators,gives them something to eat and a little fun to boot. how do you think we ski all year with no reptile problems.............
as far as the limp noodler comment, this sport does not require much gear, weight and stature are dabatable,IQ ratio not a factor, large balls and an erect noodle are worn by all that participate............ traffic here is not an issue,2 stop signs and no red lights. Cops have real jobs and work for the Sheriff on a needed basis,ball games etc. we have the best of the best......... boat dr |

To: 05 210, I can't arque the traffic issue and the hurricanes can be stressful, but the snakes and gators are like little sisters, if you ignore them they won't bother you. But I must defend the immigrants, around here there alot of Mexicans and they are very hard workers. I would hire ten of them but, I don't Se Hable' Espanole.
