I moved!

by
First, I want to wish a late Merry Christmas, or whatever you celebrate, to all of you.

I haven’t been very active online because I have been very busy. I finally moved out of Miami. It’s something I wanted to do for a very long time, but could not do because of circumstances out of my control.

Moving and starting again in a different town is hard, especially when you have lived in the same town for more than 30 years, or an entire lifetime in my wife’s case. But in recent years we watched the city turn into an unrecognizable dump. We had a chance to move and we took it.

The adventure involved driving 350 miles with 8 cats in the car while my brother drove a truck with the rest of our belongings.

We are still unpacking and our new place needs a lot of work, but we are trying to start a new life.

So happy you are able to get away from Miami.  

From what I've been hearing for years about that place, it's a real circus.

Worse, because I could possibly find a job in a circus!

Oh fuck I hate moving.  I made my big move over four years ago and I'm still traumatized from it.  But the change was long overdue and despite all the work and worry it's working out well for me.  I hope it will pan out for you as well!

It was crazy and there were a few scary moments. But I'm finally here.

Well, the move was a few weeks ago, I have been busy unpacking stuff and fixing things around.
I love the place, but it needs work.

350 miles from Miami - that clears Orlando by 110, so Jacksonville or just over the border into Georgia.

So how are you enjoying sub 40 degree temperatures after living south of the frost line for so long as it should be 73 degrees for you right now?

If you're lucky/unlucky you might even see snow.

The weather is a fun change so far, I guess I'll have time to hate it when the novelty wears out. But so many other things are better up here than they more than makeup for the cold. Distances are longer, but I get everywhere faster because the roads are not in constant traffic jams from sunrise to sunset like in the southern areas. I'm not expected to do free translations everywhere I go and people are generally more polite.

I've been down here from PA for fifteen years now and have gone completely native - plus, I never cared for the cold to begin with - so I'm feeling grumpy with the 50 degree and less weather we've been getting for the last two weeks.

Can't deny the traffic as every time we've driven down to Key West, it always took an hour to make it through Miami no matter what time of day.

Yeah, the further north you get in Florida, the less Spanish you hear.

Enjoy your first snow but be careful as I'm sure you've seen the news about how the folks in northermost Florida are incapable of driving in snow and ice.

Good luck!

LOL, well that didn't take long - how are you enjoying your first snow blizzard?

No snow so far. I keep hearing snow fell somewhere else in the county, but never in my vicinity.
The closest I have seen was some frosting on the car windshield in the morning

Lucky for you then.

You're far enough north though that you're bound to get some eventually.

Stay warm!
