Entering Florida

A good bit of northern Florida looks like parts of Northeast Texas -- same kinds of trees, same look to the pastures. I wonder if the land composition is the same?

One thing much different -- billboards for guns. Numerouser and numerouser here in Florida than in Texas. And Texas is considered a gun-owner-friendly state. Other similarities, neither state has a state income tax; both had a Bush as governor.

I mentioned the gun billboards to my daughter. She laughed and said, "It's the wild, wild West here."

About 15 years ago, my wife drove from Northeast Texas to Miami. "I was surprised at the corn," she said. "There were corn fields everywhere."

There are billboards advertising naked ladies, too. "Risk Cafe" and "Bare Necessities." And, Florida has an almost Texas-amount of cattle.

My wife and I decided the Sunshine State needs a new motto: Corn and Cattle, Guns and Whores.

Hey, it is the Wild, Wild West.
