The Problem with Florida

The problem with Florida is that it’s just too nice.

It has moderate temperatures, plenty of sunshine and lots of rain.

Things just grow here. They grow fast…

and they grow huge,

really huge.

There are lots of plants, lots of blue sky, beautiful water,

and wildlife.

Whether you stay here in a camper

an old single wide trailer or a fancy house you are surrounded by beauty.

You are never far from beauty…

that seems almost magical.

So lots of people want to live here.

And it’s pretty easy to transform a huge scraped field of sand…

into an inviting neighborhood.

So now there are miles and miles of suburbs whose traffic requires six and eight lane streets.

Until the roads are widened you get traffic jams, in what looks like the middle of the country.

Florida would be wonderful if only the rest of you didn’t think so too.
