Peter,
"I'd sure rather be in FL in the summer than in DC. In a few years I'll live
there year-round."
Now wait a minute--some of us happen to like DC in the summer. Not me but
I'm sure some people like living in blistering hot asphalt and concrete
built on a swamp. But Florida? I thought the idea was to evacuate Florida
in the summer?
Good luck with your new Rhodes!
