I have my suspicions, but they apparently remove them before our visits. The pickled watermelon rind I spotted in the fridge last month was a little peculiar too.

What is really needed for graphic design? Just the logo? Most web sites are getting away from graphics and rely on css.

Logo yes. I need to do some homework on the issue of a mobile app. Does everyone just use tapatalk?

Florida's nice to visit, but that's about it. With vacations, schooling, and visiting family, I'd say I've spent about 5 years of my life down there. I had an opportunity to life in Florida scot-free (and on the water to boot) from 2004 onward, and choose to move back north anyway.

after about 30 years of visiting FL yearly (sometimes twice) if i never step foot there again I'll be a happy person.

I do not use tapatalk, can't quite remember what it was about it now but there was something I didn't like about it. I use the app

There actually are some nice weather times in Florida, where it's warm, and not humid. Those just unfortunately coincidence with ski season!!

I was down in Florida last week for my kids Spring break - both in Orlando for a few days and then down on the Gulf Coast in SW Florida not too far from Fort Meyers for a few days - morning lows in the mid 50's afternoon highs in the low/mid 80's and no humidity whatsoever - kind of felt quite nice for a few days I will admit

Exactly! The good weather happens during ski season! Although, it's probably not too bad November through early mid December...right before skiing gets good here.

I'll be in Florida the 1st week of November for a few days before a trip to the Bahamas with my wife.
We have family down on the East Coast near Ft Lauderdale and I specifically picked early Nov as a prime time to go visit.
Just before ski season and after the boat and golf clubs are put away up here.

I lived in Jacksonville for two years when I was age 5-7. I reveled in stuff like Disneyworld, Marineland, alligator farms, and going to the beach. One day it snowed. Fond memories from when I was a dumb kid.

I returned as a dumb adult, age 27, to Pensacola, between the months of March to October or so. I was in the Navy, attending a school. Through the summer I marched in formation to class wearing the dungaree enlisted uniform. Also mandatory PT several days a week, running in formation along with calisthenics, you get the idea. I developed a keen hatred for Florida's climate that I'll harbor until death.

But not everyone feels that way (FLA population 20.6 million). I wish Nick good luck down there.

My wife and I visited friends south of Sarasota, FL last fall. I have fond memories of swimming in the Gulf and watching the sun go down on an island called Boca Grande on Halloween 2016.

Boca Grande is a GREAT place! I was fishing and beaching there a week ago. One of the few reasons why I actually would go back there during the summer heat and humidity is that right in the pass at the South end of Boca Grande in the summer is some of the best tarpon fishing in the world! The first few tarpon to return to the area for the summer had just recently been seen per the fishing guide we used. No tarpon for our boat last week, just some grouper, snook, red fish and speckled sea trout giving us some tight lines!

Late October through December was always my favorite time of year down there. It's typically not brutally hot and the water is still warm.

You couldn't pay me to move to Florida. Some people love it though.

Okay, okay, I could certainly be bought with enough money, but you get the idea...
