Travis' Travels Week 20: Sunshine State
Read this blog. It will change your life.
Aloha from the sunshine state, sunny Florida, where the sun is shining sunshinefully.
I don't really want to get into the reason I went to Florida, but I do have the Following Florida Fun Facts For Fyou Fto Fread:
1. Floridians love the color taupe.
The Ft. Myers airport was all taupe on the inside. I left and it was taupe on the outside, too. And guess what - all the shopping malls were also taupe. And all the other buildings. Taupe taupe taupe taupe, everywhere you look.

**Extra fun Florida fact: In Florida, oranges are now called "taupes."
2. It is not 25 degrees in Florida.
Actually it's around 72 degrees and sunny right now. People are walking around in shorts and going to the beach. Do you hate them yet?
3. There are old people in Florida.
Florida demographic chart:

4. Florida is flat.
But not as flat as Hayden Christensen's performance in Star Wars Episode 2... am I right?
5. Hurricanes sometimes happen there.
Go to Florida and you will see signs for hurricane evacuation routes all over the place.
Which begs the question: Why would someone move to Florida if there's a greater-than-average risk of a hurricane coming by and knocking your house down?
And for that, I have to give all the grizzled old retirees with poor blood circulation a tip of my hat. They've decided that rather than stay in their safe home states, where 100 mph winds aren't blowing their cars over, they want to take the risk and move to a place where the weather is nice.
Mother nature has provided us with a real-life example of the basic economic principle that greater risk equals greater reward.
Is the symbolism coming across here yet?
Perhaps I, in considering what to do with my life in the coming days, should take into account-
-ah, you know what, screw it. Have a nice weekend everyone.
