We've thrown around the idea of moving to Florida in the last few weeks. We're already for sure going in July. We might be going in April and October as well. A lot of pros and very few cons for us at this point in our lives.

That OC ad revenue will be tax free

I was just saying this to my wife tonight. It’ll never happen as all our family is in this region but every February I wonder why I’m living somewhere where ice and snow make life so miserable. It’s 70 degrees in south Florida right now. But a couple months from now it’ll be a moot point and I won’t care anymore.

So little comes anymore I stopped getting a 1099 from google. 

But getting back 5% of our incomes and paying a lot less in property tax is a definite pro. 

Pros:
Taxes
Year-round golf
Abundance of water
Forward thinking cities considering bitcoin
Spring Training baseball
Five Skyline Chili locations

Cons:
Alligators
Hurricanes
Heat

The cons are all nature, I can adjust to that.

I'd put the odds of it actually happening at 30%, but we're both open to it at this point. It's the first time we've both agreed without hesitation on a potential relocation...location.

Don't forget about Florida Man. I guess he's nature too.

I can handle Florida Man. I might become Florida Man. Let's be honest.

What in the fuck? CDC says people fully vaccinated don't need to quarantine after exposure, but then goes onto say: 

But the CDC says it's not known how long protection lasts, so people who had their last shot three months ago or more should still quarantine if they are exposed. They also should quarantine if they show symptoms, the CDC said.

So three months after the vaccine you should basically go back to acting like you didnt get the vaccine.

The trials started 2-3 months before anyone got it in the US.  This guidance seems completely unnecessary until people in the trials get it in significant numbers.

Yeah, I was slower to realize that then other people.  I understood not recommending masks early on (even the WHO did that, I believe).  But pretty much all they had to do was call Amazon to save masks for hospitals, and then show people how to make their own masks.  I guess they didn't think masks would help because they didn't think it was airborne, but apparently they did based on that Trump interview.

And now the CDC is recommending against homemade masks.  Yeah, better masks are available, but are the homemade completely useless?  Seems like more bad and misguided communication.

So now we will have COVID Karens crying if they see somebody with a homemade mask  and/or not wearing double masks?

What about protest marches, are they still okay?


According to Fab4 they are always better than anything else, working out, eating, etc.

THese people are idiots.  I thought following science was their motto?  Science says that if we have antibodies from a vaccine or illness we are immune.  immunity should last FOREVER.  Thats how our immune system works.

Of course it is never.  How many times have we seen the goalposts move since all of this started?  


If it was Browns stadium one of the  goalposts would be in Lake Michigan and the other one in Lake Ontario.

Was this curfew for bars?  Because I did not realize there was a curfew.

I dont understand why these stupid ass politicians cant just come on and say "We have been at this for over a year now, adults can make their own decisions about going out to dinner, wearing a mask or not, what time to go home......I think we all know enough now to make our own decisions."
