It's cold here in Chicago

[garyfotodiver]

All this stuff about miserable poor dive wretches living in subzero conditions really got to me. I almost put some dough in the Salvation Army pot in front of K-Mart on Palmetto Park Road but some cretin from New York cut me off in the parking lot so I said to hell with those cold people. I figure any money I kick in will just encourage even more of them to come down here.

Hey, I know where that is! Only a couple miles east of where I hang out. Powerline & Palmetto.

We are almost neighbors.

About the New Yawkers, I agree. Snowbirds with clipped wings.

Ah, but MissDirected, you Floridians have strange insects, lightning storms and hurricanes to contend with. I know because Mom lives in Sarasota. Here on Catalina we have almost no insects (very few that bite), our ligtning is wimpy and the closest we come to a hurricane is the occasional waterspout observed in the Channel from our dive park!

You are so right about all of that drbill. I think CA is better but don't say that I said that. It seems most everyone's mom lives in Sarasota. Do you visit often?

If you REALLY thought CA was better, wouldn't you be there?

Gary,

There's a perfectly good charter in Milwaukee that goes out all year. What you save in airfare you could spend on a dry suit (and long johns, and heavy mits, and extra hood, etc....)
