Thats a good thing, My wife wasnt to bad with our oldest, but man I have seen some.. Oh boy. Poor kids are not allowed around dirt. I wont lie though, my wife had the sterlizer for the bottles, she washed the pacifier, when I wasnt around. We learned.

I'm sure rethinking my move from Michigan to Florida. Now I don't have to get up an hour early for work to clear the driveway so I can get out. Then reclear it since the snow plow buried it again while I was showering. And the THREE HOUR each way commute when it snowed. And being cold all winter long. And going to work in the dark and coming home in the dark. And the sun not shining because of clouds for three or four MONTHS straight. And losing power from ice storms. And idiots that can't drive each time it snows, though we do have the same problem here with drivers and rain.

OK, now I remember why I love living in Florida!

Howdy Mark! The way I look at it you can always put more clothes on, but you can only take so many off. Personally my drive to work gets faster with a major snow storm (no school traffic). Since I'm a good ole boy ,nothing I own isn't 4wd, so shoveling is not necessary.

Now only if I can talk the state out of using road salt........

Florida is a nice place to visit when you're young. Then when you turn 80 you move there.

No, not so much. I've had my share of rotted out vehicles. My daughter has a seven year old Edge with over 70,000 miles. It looks brand new underneath. The exhaust doesn't even have any rust showing.

That's when I go in my pool or the ocean.
