Bad news for "Half Fast"

It just seems that way. When my wife points out that I changed lanes in front of another car I explain to her that turn signals give information to the enemy. If you turn you signal on they know you are trying to get in front of them and they speed up to cut you off. You have to jump in before they realize what's happening.

That’s not unique to Florida, though. I learned that tactic while driving in Boston. People up there don’t drive defensively; they drive offensively.
 
Be advised if you move to Florida, you must gradually assimilate to Florida Man culture.
We have a flight school on our field operated by a nice fellow from New Jersey. I used to chuckle at him showing up in the summer wearing a collared shirt tucked in to khaki trousers and docksider loafers. He has gradually relaxed his attire. Soon I expect him to be giving lessons shirtless, wearing cutoff jean shorts and Crocs, sporting a mullet, and carrying a small alligator, a bottle of tequila, and fireworks.
When we moved to Florida from the west coast, I was surprised at how many men tuck their shirt in, especially t-shirts with shorts. It’s like a little time capsule from 35 years ago.
 
Ah, the Redneck Riviera in Lower Alabama. Living in Pensacola had some nice points, but even taking the dog for a walk in summer leaves you looking like you ran a marathon.
