Here's something we Southerners want to see a LOT more of, especially in Texas, Georgia and Florida

29. LMAO. This will not be a popular post with many on DU!

After 2 months of working in a shipyard in the Venice area of Italy I knew I could never live in Europe.

Loved the the people, the food, the Atmosphere and the history. But no one could do a damned thing without getting permission. Not just the Italians but even the Brits. We had to get orders on how to move towels and by the time the orders came they could have had them moved. Not that my career is towel moving! But I was trying to chip in and help. I was young. In hindsight I should have gone into Venice and had Cicchetti and ombré which I could have done. I’ve since made good on my poor decision

Ironically had I not spent so much time in Europe I might be far left. It made me realize moderation is the key.

I take it your daughter was Ivy League. You must have been bursting with pride. One of my dear friends, wife to a friend of 42 years, is Yale Undergrad and Harvard law grad. Smartest person I know. Her husband is a Duke Grad but defers to her intellect.

Alas, I was destined for a state school. A good one but it fit me better. No genius here.

Ever in the Sunshine State and want to see the real Florida PM me. I’ll give you some ideas. So few people ever see the natural beauty of the system. Just theme parks and beaches.

Have a great night.
