Florida. Ugh. It's just not pretty. Nearing retirement, my ex and I agreed that we both hate Florida. So I showed him what is my own paradise--New Mexico--and he loved it. Then he broke up with me. I pursued my dream in New Mexico and am so glad I did. Where did he go? Florida. Boring. And what a liar. I was born in Texas. The Metroplex and Houston are hideous. Asphalt, cement, and Chili's restaurants. But the main reason I loathe both states are their politicians. Especially Texas. They're just heartless. Thanks for reminding me of why I moved here. Nobody else seems to have a clue about NM!
