AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH.
All right.
I know that weather reports won't keep anyone out there excited for long. But, I gotta say that we bad weather gods have done it again!!!
We are in Marion County, Florida, middle of drought, sun capitol of the universe.
According to the weather man this morning, it is the only county in all of Florida to be under a frost watch. It's 46 now, and windy, with gray skies, and................................. IT SUCKS.
Okay. Moving on. No mo' weather complaints.
Hey! These folks down here are making me appreciate how little is the racism up north! The things people say around here about blacks, would cause a lynching in New York. Just yesterday, a guy I didn't even know told me about a car accident he was in, and that blacks were in the other car, and the cop whoshowed up was black, and he got a ticket, for sure because of the bad ol' blacks...although he used a different epithet to describe them. I was warned about this when I first got here. It's weird, but now when I see blacks in the store or on the street, I want to be really nice, I feel bad for them here. Weird.
Also, Floridum drivers are very agressive. Stupidly so. A really grossly fat man, old besides, with his elephantine wife, rushed up to my back bumper with ill intent after I drove into traffic in front of him. Honestly, it was a safe move, he was at least 100 yards behind me, but, he still had to tailgate me until I made my turn, and both he and his ancient wrinkly gargantuan woman flipped me the bird as they passed...yesterday we were in a line of cars approaching a point that the left lane ended..I was in the slow right lane for 10 minutes, crawling along, watching the cheaters fly by in the soon to end left lane..I even let a couple squeeze in ahead of me...until I was at the end of the merging point, and some jerk flew in out of nowhere, and, without even looking cut in front of me into my lane...Whoa!! If I didn't hit the brakes, I woulda hit him for sure. To my immense credit, I didn't chase him down to kill him, or even flip him off...just hit the horn. Hard.
Oh well. We're not in Kansas anymore. And, the weatherman promises sweet weather from Friday on.
See ya's all!

Hmmm... sounds like a great opportunity to display Christ to all of these people. Expect their sin while not condoning it and show them the better way. I know you are there for a reason! Especially being able to call people out on their prejudices. Great time to be bold! Love you!
Nah..I just got to learn a quicker flip off technique!

He's only kidding Bean. We both are really seeing how there are so many prejudices down here. A lot to take in I'll tell ya. And your dad is sure bold ..as you well know.So don't worry about us ...except maybe getting shot!!!! People are sure cranky outside this park. Like going back 50 years!!!! Love,mom
I don't see anything wrong with this blog, mom! It sounds like he's having perfectly reasonable reactions to perfectly unreasonable people. I absolutely cannot believe there still exist places in these United States where people honestly judge others just based on the color of their skin. I know it happens, but it still astounds me whenever I hear about it. How utterly stupid can you get? I guess we northerners are just more...advanced...intelligent...sophisticated...I could go on and on...than certain southern sorts...
better lookin' too...
