This is a rave long time coming... I must say the Floridian folks are really nice.
Every time I have gone to a restaurant, grocery store, coffee shop or whatever. I am usually greeted with a salutation of some type. The voice is filled with enthusiasm. Service is quick and efficient. I am just surprise.
I guess because I lived in Oakland, Ca. for 20 + years. The people were rude or had an attitude problem. Even when they were given respect. I think it was because the PARENTS were bad parents. They were lazy about getting the proper education that was available.
BUT not here in SW Florida. The customer service is OUTSTANDING & EXCELLENT. Keep up good work.

A Rant of Floridian Drivers
Well, I must congratulate Floridians on finally being in a top 10 list of something. They were rated by 3 major national organizations . I have lived here for 2 years and I knew this was a fact. Now there is statistics to back up my observations . FLORIDIANS are tops in WORST DRIVERS OF THESE UNITED STATES...... Granted...Floridians did not make the top spot..( But/and the city of Cape Coral is listed as one of the safest city here in Florida.) I have seen changing lanes in a intersection,running red light/right turns. ( no roll thru plain driving thru) 10 mile above speed limit or 10 miles under speed limit. 95% of women yakking on a cell phone.
Now why should I be able to complain of this...35 or so years of driving with never a parking ticket,no accidents cause by me. (2- I was in but not at fault) Only 1 speeding ticket . On a Sunday afternoon,101 ,Brisbane,CA,no traffic but me and a CHIPPY. Beautiful sunny day doing 75 mpg in a 65,driving a blue 1979,Datsun 280zx 5 speed windows down music loud.. MY DESERVED PUNISHMENT.... Traffic school on the INTERNET cost $55.00 DMV or insurance never knew. :-).
So people get your head out of your ass and learn to drive RIGHT.

REFLECTIONS
Its been 12 years since the cowardly act happen in New York. Today I remember like it was yesterday 4 incidents of history for me and where I was located. .......9/11 I woke up at 1000 am pacific time after a late shift working in the projects of San Francisco. I turned on the television and saw the plane destroying the Towers in NY. I thought WOW what a cool TV show or movie. Then a few minutes later I heard the announcer state what happen.
The 2nd was when I was on patrol at the now defunct Oakland Army Base. I stopped at the entry gate and the officer on duty told me of the shuttle explosion.
3rd place was the 1989 earthquake of San Francisco. I was in downtown on California St when the ground moved. I grabbed my GF at the time, Beverly , and took her to the middle of the street in case panes of glass were to fall onto the sidewalk.
And one of the best memories of my lifetime is my first kiss with Bernice Hegwood. The first black woman I ever kiss and set the tone for the rest of my life. If I wasn't a Atheist I would be thanking a god right now for that moment.
There are many more moments.These are not in order of their importance. Just thoughts out loud.

Greed and Stupidy
Well first let me tell you the GREEDY and Stupid company.
Associated Publishers Network
850 Boulder HWY #355, Henderson, NV 89015.
These b**tards has the nerve to represent the Consumer Reports Magazine. They said in the letter that they are offering the LOWEST rate for 1 years, $56.00.
I have subscribe for over 4 years I have NEVER seen a rate more than $26 bucks. How idiotic can they think I am. Buying at a newsstand is cheaper .
But I am sure there are stupid enough people who do not pay attention and may pay this rate.
I must say you are Stupid..... if you pay a magazine with a credit card. Then year after year they charge you the highest rate. Hey you do not check your statement , they get your money.
