I just got home today after 2-1/2 weeks in hospital for double bypass surgery. Had plenty hot male nurses to help me thru.

It’s warmer in Boston than Ft.Lauderdale today. 🙂

I retired to Florida after 35 years in San Francisco. My property taxes are far less than 1k per year. No state income taxes. HOA fees 75% less than I was paying for rent in California. Yes, Insurance is an issue for many, but not everyone. Call me stupid if you want, but I’m very happy with my decision to live here.

I live in Ft.Lauderdale and this all caught up to me this year. My car and condo insurance bundle increased 30%. The condo association was hit with 50% insurance increase. Our fees went up $200. There is no reason to believe these kind of increases won’t happen again next year. That’s the scary part.

It’s being worked on by the programmers now. Should be fixed today. Some people are getting in, but it’s very slow.

I’ll strongly disagree with you that there is a gang on the other site that tells Oz what to do. He is very much his own person and been around this business a long time.

I’ve been in Bangkok for the last several months. Masks aren’t mandatory now but I’d say 3/4 of the Asian population wear masks. I only do in my condo building and public transportation. Most Westerners aren’t wearing them now.

They used 4 pitchers . Great accomplishment, but not in Don Larson category.

You could probably say the same for Mets fans right now.

I’m in Bangkok now. The mask mandate is going to end mid June. Tourist have been returning, things picking up weekly. Entertainment venues should be opening next week.

RadioRob when you leave Ft.Lauderdale will you take the cold weather with you.

I also hope Ft.Lauderdale passes on it. Or passes on the costs to tourists instead of local tax payers. City Commissioners have been trying to get some sort of light rail but residents finally won out after years of back and forth. So now they are going to try to push this tunnel system that will only be used by tourists. Residents are already forming opposition groups. time will tell.

I live in Ft. Lauderdale. Tourism is way down. No snowbirds. I haven’t seen a Canadian license plate in months. Same with cars from the Northeast. A few New Yorkers around. Beaches very quiet. Restaurants open but with limited capacity. There are mask issues but it seems to be an age thing. During daytime lots of mask wearing, but when sun goes down and younger crowd heads out for evening entertainment, masks seem to disappear. I stay pretty close to home so not up on what’s going on in the gay venues in the evening. I got the vaccine but I’m still avoiding crowds for awhile. Ive flown to Boston a couple of times and all my flights were full, so there are some people coming down.

I got the Pfizer vaccine. My second shot is 21 days after the first.

The governor in Florida is one of Trumps little bitches and he does what Trump tells. Trump wants Florida open.
