grumbles at snooty pot-shots before eyes roll into skull seeing “Brooklyn, NY” At least we have top-notch fire ecologists… and water… I guess…
Has it ever not been? I remember reading some Cracked.com thing (it may have been this?) a decade ago or so that cemented Florida in my mind as the weird alcoholic uncle of U.S. states. It has ever more isolated tourism but that doesn’t mean it’s not still a shunting yard for the elderly whose potential was never, is never that great.
