I lived in Orlando, Florida (near the airport) for a couple of years. One of the years they had a huge snowstorm hit back home. So of course we called and rubbed it in that we were wearing shorts and all. It was nice and I wouldn't mind going back to visit, but I'll stay up here in WI. Summers aren't as hot and humid. <br /> <br />I've been stuck in the middle of traffic at noon w/o air conditioning when it's been over 90 degrees. Yuck!! <br /> <br />Speaking of alligators, I remember seeing something on the news about where they pulled this huge alligator out of this resevoir/pond surrounded by homes. The thing was so huge they needed to tie the cable to the back of a truck to get it out. Apparently it was sticking around because an old lady had been feeding it. <br /> <br />Besides the snakes and alligators, there are cockroaches. The cockroaches are disgusting and nasty. I remember sitting in the livingroom watching TV and seeing a big fat roach squeeze itself right into the house through the bottom of the door (closed shut). I've opened up a kitchen cupboard for a glass to be greeted by one. They make lots of noise as they get sucked up by the vacuum cleaner. [;)] <br /> <br />There are fire ants which are vicious (and ingenious) critters. I hated cutting grass down there because of those things, and grass grew really fast down there! <br /> <br />Then there are those little lizards which are fun to catch when they get inside the house.
