Are they really leaving

You hear daily how people are leaving Miami in droves. Moving to Western Florida, Cape Coral, Fort Myers. Others are hitting the Gainesville/Ocala area. Radio has those dumb commercials for houses in Ocala for mid 100s. Other friends are more daring. North Carolina, Georgia or Tennessee.

The hell with that...if I go I am doing something drastic. Wyoming or Montana. Sell my 600k home, take the 500k in equity and buy some nice ranch. Maybe couple hundred acres on some river near Cheyenne. Insurance for Home & Auto under 500 bucks. No Hurricanes. Snow but nothing a 4x4 cant handle.

So what if its in the Boonies. Here are some reasons why its not that big a deal...

FedEx still delivers anything you would ever need.
Shopping by Catalog is Fun.
WalMart will only be half hour away tops.
DirectTV...what else can I say
Internet by Satellite.

Close yet so far away!!

Back for More

Its been a while since I have posted. Lots of other things which have overwhelmed me over the past few months like work and family.

This afternoon though was one of those lunch hours that make people want to leave Miami for good. Everywhere I went there were lines and more lines. Lines at the drive through at the fast food place. A Line at JiffyLube to get your oil changed. Lines to get into Shopping Centers. Maybe it is time to cash out and split town for North Florida or somewhere in the Southeast US.
