Perception is a funny thing, especially when it is fueled by ancient memories and future fantasies.

I was thinking about Florida today since there's still a little snow from the other day on the leaves here, and I wanted to find a picture that showed what Florida looks like in my mind.

I think I found it.

Likewise, I found the perfect pictures for Pennsylvania ...

... and Australia ...

I went from the above to the below.

Arkansas

It takes me less time to get to a town 30 miles from my doorstep now, than it did to get to a store 3 miles away in Texas.

Keep the vision, Phil!

@ Anne: Ugh! Don't remind me!

@Di: It DOES look a bit like Florida, although I'm not sure they have beech forests. But the DROP BEARS, man, the DROP BEARS!!! Imagine them using some of those tall buildings as launch pads - just think of the terrible terminal velocities they achieve!!! :cower:

They have the problem under control. These Meter Maids were (maybe still are) sent out to feed the expiring parking meters so there'd be less p'd off tourists. They were tastier morsels for the Drop Bears than the average chewy tourist so it all worked out well.

Such a waste of talent ... :(

I took a look at their website - the maids, not the bears - and they've been in operation for almost 50 years! They can put their tokens in MY slot any day!

Just saw on CNN where more sink holes are happening in Florida. That would be enough to keep me away!

I've found that for most news items it's always educational to research a bit deeper than the media does ... Florida has sinkholes, yes, but there truly aren't THAT many and they tend to be confined to 2 or 3 counties. We've had many sinkholes in PA as well, as has Ohio, New York and many other states.

The common belief of Florida's problems is that the limited groundwater is being used up, collapsing the underwater limestone structures that the state is based upon. But to read many 'Net accounts of the phenomenon you'd think that by next week Georgia is going to be ocean-front property. :rolleyes:
 
I found this thread since I've been dreaming of a tropical place to live out my days;) I think this is what Florida looks like in my dreams. I'm not even certain this photo was taken in Florida, but wow, love it!

It's probably Florida - I understand they're having some problems with green bioluminescent dolphins lately ... I just don't know how they got into the trees, unless they've also evolved feet ...
