I understand. I lived there in late 80s. I am probably not the best judge.

Some crazy intellectuals making friends easily would be nice.

On that topic, Senator Fred Thompson passed away today. He was a champion for reverse mortgages.

For those that don't know, reverse mortgages are a mirror of mortgages. Reverse mortgage is a tool for living closer together, whereas mortgage is a tool for moving away from each other.

Who will carry Fred Thompson's torch? During my younger years I viewed him as a scammer. More recently I viewed him as rational.

RIP Senator Thompson. Peace.

More and more I'm thinking it would be somewhere that has no grass or trees. I am beginning to HATE yard work.

Visited Central Florida - Kissimmee/Poinciana which is about 20 miles south of
Orlando - and it seems that every second person is a landscaper.

The municipalities show great pride in appearance of their areas and citizen associations put pressure on their members to maintain a neat and tidy landscape.

The amount of people pulling medium size mowers indicates that it is a viable personal business.

The new areas, not old Kissimmee, are really neat and very clean.

What is scary though is the number of small ponds with alligators which are near homes.

Alligators help keep the growing population at manageable levels. Slip near one of those ponds . . . another condo vacant.
