Yes but you forgot to mention the important bit, Mike: no matter which
of those places you go to you have to contend with Florida's two
seasons: hot and humid and _more_ hot and humid. California would be
perfect--if it didn't have earthquakes, mudslides, and wildfires--there
you can go from tanning on the beach to skiing in the mountains in less
than 90 minutes (not counting traffic) or anything in between.
All the same, I'll live with a can of Raid permanently affixed to a hip
holster and one of those goofy fan-on-a-hat thingies to avoid living
where the earth shakes, the mountains slide, and the forests
spontaneously ignite for no apparent reason.
