Migration
It's getting to be that time of year again. Flocks of them are coming here, as they do every year. They leave messes, are irritating, and get in the way of the rest of us.
Who am I speaking of? The GD Snowbirds. When I start seeing more and more out-of-state license plates, I begin to cringe. Snowbirds and tourists piss me off. Neither understand simple rules of the road. It's almost like once they leave their place of origin, all common sense is tossed out the window.
The old ones are seriously cranky. They're mad because they can't do the things they used to. They're mad because their lives didn't turn out the way they expected. I used to think that the geriatric crowd was pretty nice, loved children, and were pretty helpful. Hah! Fooled me, must be a whole new crowd down here in the Sunshine State. They are rude, hateful, and cuss more than me. (That, my dear readers, is a lot of cussing.)
I'm having a I hate Florida day. It doesn't show does it?

I used to own a place in Naples with my Mother, she was one of the cranky gray haired snowbird's who shouldn't have been driving on the road. Poor you! Im glad I don't own that house anymore, but I do miss having someplace warm to go in the winter.
Not all snowbirds are unwelcome.
