She acted like nothing happened. I wanted to backhand her. This seems like typical behavior down here.

southflo2ss I want to come visit, sounds like a cool place where you live.
Most definately, and I remind myself again why I can't wait to leave. Today, walking out of work I hold a door for a customer..........again, no look, no thank you nadda. Rude ******* here, think you owe them this kind of gesture.

I think I am going to let the door just hit them next time and only open it for myself.

Jeff, not to get off subject here you still coming to BMP with us Sat?

If you want I will give you a call and plan it out............only a few more days!! I am coming home after I race, can't stick my dog in boarding..........I can't do that to him.

How far is New Port Richey and Clearwater from Miami or Ft. Lauderdale? Sorry for my ignorance. I don't have to live like 5 minutes from Miami/South Beach, but at least within 20-30 minutes from it.

It's on the west coast. You'd be looking at a ride down 75 then across alligator alley.......or staying on Tamiami trail which to me is in the boonies I mean swamp. If you live on the west coast depending on what you do, you'd have Cape Coral, Ft. Myers and Naples close by AND you can get to Bradenton to race whenever you want to.

Jeff, I will call you.

It's on the west coast. You'd be looking at a ride down 75 then across alligator alley to get you east or you could get to the FL turnpike I believe.......or staying on Tamiami trail which to me is in the boonies I mean swamp.

That it is, I went partially across the alley last night to race in Immokalee.

133 miles from my house to that drag strip. Whew...........it was a good 55 or so miles just to get on the Alley to head west and I didn't go over all the way but I did not north on Hwy 29 for 18 miles.

I hope to be out of FL and in a new home by Spring of 2007 maybe even by this time next year. I got in and bought before things sky rocketed and it's time to take my equity and buy a new house and carry very little mortgage and enjoy my time racing.
better move quick. the rich ***** are taking over nc just like fla.
