I could never get into "Friends". The action wasn't interesting,

Guess you are not familiar with the text. See:
Deuteronomy 20:18-21

No, why would I? You dont kill a dog for shitting on the carpet. You
train it not to do so. You do not make excuses for its behavior, or
tolerate it, or encourage it. The training may involve some discomfort
to the dog however. Children are much the same. Headstrong, always
pushing the envlope, always seeking to gain dominance.

Killing dogs and children rather than training them serves no purpose,
except in the extreme cases. And as its the right of the mother to
terminate their child up to the age of majorit..its pretty much up to
mom as to what she wants to do with the prat. Only after the most
extreme provocation could I see most mothers stoning a child.

Most simply punch a hole in the kids skull and vacuum out the brain
matter, or break it up into pieces and vacuum it away.

I was diverted from working the space coast by family concerns. One
day I hope to live in the land of Jeb Bush, preferably the space coast
or the emerald coast.

Until the last decade or so that wasn't true. Florida had been
goiing through a long relatively quiet period with respect to
hurricanes.

It's not the heat, it's the humidity. We have even higher
temperatures here and much lower humidity.

But I don't see hwo they can stand it either.

With air conditioning. But on days like today, in North Florida,
its its great to be outdoors. Low 63 F, high 82 F, humidity 52%.

There's a website which ranks the top 50 locales struck or brushed
by hurricanes and tropical storms since 1871... Before 2004, the
highest ranked Florida city was #10 with an average of every 2.66
years. -- www.hurricanecity.com/Rank.htm If you prepare and
follow precautions, its relatively safe and easy to ride out a hurricane.
I've lived in Florida all my life (49 years), been thru several, and\
inconvenience is the worst I've suffered. [R]

Do you have any connection to reality? I suspect that for the past
several decades the frequency for a hurricane hitting anywhere in
Florida is once ever four years or so.

Egver been here? Rocks, not sand.

We have to go up on the rim or up on our local moutnians for

Robert... you might want to reconsider that statement.... I lived in
Florida for over 25 years and endured only one hurricane. During that time,
many storms came close, very few hit the state. The only one of much
consequence was Andrew, thought there were others. None of these but Andrew
did the sort of damage that any of the four from this season did to Florida.
There was ONE that hit from the gulf side that did some damage up in the Big
Bend area, but all the others were pretty much rain events.

Having come from Illinois, I can tell you that the humidity was to laugh at
when I could sit on my porch in shorts in February and the scuba diving was
far superior to the sort of mud baths we would get in the quarries up north.

Ah, yes -- Tucson has a lot of cheap beachfront lots. The only trouble
is that the water is a couple of hundred miles away.

I live in FL because it is one of the last bastions of freedom in the US.
