I do not like hot weather

blues90,

Happy Birthday, hope you had a good day, can I have a piece of cake now.
It's been that long since we had a warm day, forgot what they are like.

When I was a kid my grandfather on my fathers side lived in Florida in a old house at the end very end of a street were a canal ended the street it was in St Pete. Every X-mass we would drive down from IL to visit. Do to my father being a home builder/carpenter self contractor we used to move back and forth from IL to Florida because of the IL winters. Not every year did we move just when he had enough. We only owned one house in FL the rest were rented. Around 1970 he moved to FL with my mom in some remote area near Ocala with the thought of making a trailer park never happened he just built a small house fashioned after a barn then built two more one to use as a work shop and one to be a larger house, the first one was small and better than the very small travel trailer they moved there in.

In 76 my younger sister begged me and my ex to move to southern FL near Davie. It's worse there hot ,more bugs , that lasted 4 years I couldn't wait to get out of there and in 1981 moved to CA which used to be nice not any more and never will be again. And here I am , stuck.

In 71 I drove to Canada through Detroit and the first thing I noticed was how nice the roads were like new and so clean. Stayed in some house still not finished that a girl I was dating wealthy parents owned it was on a medium size lake summer lots of flying bugs. But it was nice and different than the US.

My younger sister has been living in FL since around 71 and never left she now lives in Stanford area. My older sister never left IL and passed away there in 2022.
