Perhaps it has changed in the meantime; but, in flying in from Atlanta GA (which I did, frequently), I knew where we were in the pattern - by when we went through the smelly plume from each of two paper mills. <br /><br />I've only been to Florida once since leaving in 1983 - I was birding in the Tampa area on 9/11/2001. I'll let you keep the whole state.

One little slip, Tom--the South still is a major producer of forest products. It has more forest land than any other region (about 40 percent). The South produces two-thirds of U.S. pulpwood and major amounts of both softwood and hardwood lumber.

Snide comments are not unusual on this blog, but they are presented with humility, and meant to be entertaining, not insulting. Maybe I should do a post on gun safety. I don't know much about guns, but why should that stop me. It doesn't stop anyone else.

Contrary to myth, gators are not green or mottled, they are dark gray (slate) and can be quite large. You don't want to mess with them in the spring (mating season) and avoid the females once they've laid their eggs. Since it is very difficult to tell the males from the females, it's best to just stay away from them. We don't see them on golf courses as often as we used to, either.Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09752593286034877538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626594980028435818.post-75232602239067788412015-01-12T10:47:16.081-05:002015-01-12T10:47:16.081-05:00Most interesting.Most interesting.Rosaria Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03133147851332084180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626594980028435818.post-56635016179876859042015-01-11T16:01:46.150-05:002015-01-11T16:01:46.150-05:00So what did you do at that "old abandoned hou...So what did you do at that "old abandoned house" or should I not ask?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626594980028435818.post-41393940701825905452015-01-11T15:39:49.305-05:002015-01-11T15:39:49.305-05:00I've never been to Florida, except the Miami a...I've never been to Florida, except the Miami airport, but I know people who live there, vacation there, and love it.stephen Hayeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17659054447637207734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626594980028435818.post-42099839356816406992015-01-11T15:12:13.736-05:002015-01-11T15:12:13.736-05:00Yes, it always intrigues me to drive into the the ...Yes, it always intrigues me to drive into the the Florida countryside.
