It's 31 degree outside. The sandhill cranes are stopping nearby on their way south and I'm ready to start that way as well. Tomorrow is the big day, we drain the water heater and go. The weather for the trip looks clear and sunny. We're taking 4 days to get to Sarasota- were old and we can afford it. No travel day will be longer then 6: 30 hours. The last day just over 4 hours
We will say goodbye to family style restaurants and say hello to potlucks. The first week I am back - there are 3 potlucks planned. Our social calendar doubles or triples in Florida. The realization hit me this week, the things I hated about Florida when I was young are the very thing I love about it now- old people, pot lucks playing Mexican train dominos . I will miss our local McDonalds in the morning half filled with polite Introvert's who enjoy a casual morning conversation. In Florida the McDonalds are filled with far right extremisms professing love for America all the while glorified the insurrection.
