Hi Double-A Living in Florida is not easy. That is the main reason it
is cheaper to live here(buy a house) Many moons ago the Spanish
conquistadors explored Florida,and were paid in a lot more gold because
Florida is such a hostile place. bugs,gators,indians,storms walking
through swamp land is hazardous. Florida gets a lot of old retired
people,and they die here much faster,and that helps the social security
fund. If not for air-conditioning only the poor,and Indians would live
in Florida. Tampa is only 2ft above sea level,and
the tide might rise up to 15ft,and that could be interesting. 400,000
people have been evacuated to high ground(there is no high ground) what
they mean is they are taken inland. Bert PS I live 50 miles from
Tampa


Bert,

You must be about right in the middle of that hurricane right now.
Hope you weather the storm OK.

I don't know why so many people retire to Florida. I guess some like
it hot. Actually, I hate it when it gets hot. I would rather retire
to Alaska. That way I would never have to suffer through another
miserable hot summer again!

I don't knoooooww about that!! Better check with some of the recent posts
from the **alternative science** crowd. If any one of them is right Alaska
will be a tropic from either global warming, the toasting from the impending
white-dwarf excursion, the contiuing contraction of the universe, or maybe
danny min's suitcase nuke. The land mass we know as Alaska was tropical in
the past, so it could happen again.

SCOFF!!!???!! Well, just how soon do you expect to retire? Your 401K
certainly won't be ready to support you in the foreseeable future!! You
don't have enough salary credits to qualify for more than $196/month from
social security. So you know that even if the **AS** predictions are off by
as little as, well, a factor of 10^3, you still won't be retired and Alaska
will be one huge lake due to the perma frost defrosting. Hope the elk have
webbed feet!!

Hi Painius Well you must have lived in Mission Hills to be 25 ft above
sea level(yes?) Florida came up out of the Atlantic about 8 million
years ago. It can't be more than 6ft above sea level,and there are lots
of areas below sea level. It was not a home for dinosaurs. The saber
tooth tiger, small deer,rats,gators, snakes,black bear and armadillos

Check again oh guru of grapefruits 'n oranges...

Some areas of Clearwater FL right near the beaches get up
to 105 ft above sea level. Florida is a little hillier than most
people seem to think. It ain't West-By-God-Virginia, but it
ain't so flat, neither. g

If Alaska becomes tropical, then Florida will be under water from the
rise in sea level brought on by the melting polar capes. So I'd still
rather be in Alaska.

Already spent all that to survive this recession which began in the
last year of Clinton. Lost my investment money when the stock market
crashed that year too.


You
don't have enough salary credits to qualify for more than $196/month from
social security.


I don't expect there to be any social security by the time I retire.
If there is, I'll probably have to wait till I'm 80 to collect
anything! The best I can hope for is that my pension will provide me
with sufficient money to buy a cheap "Saturday night special" with
which to put myself out of my misery!


So you know that even if the **AS** predictions are off by
as little as, well, a factor of 10^3, you still won't be retired and Alaska

The mutant Elk with webbed feet will be the survivors.

I don't see Bert posting this morning. Perhaps a storm related power
failure is allowing him to enjoy Florida's wonderful balmy climate
today without the distraction of air conditioning!

At least, from the reports I heard, the storm missed a direct hit to
his area.
