As I went farther and farther north and it got colder I was aware of more and more advertising for Florida real estate and, with the approach of the long and bitter winter, I could see why Florida is a golden word. As I went along I found that more and more people lusted toward Florida and that thousands had moved there and more thousands wanted to and would. The advertising, with a side look at Federal Communications, made few claims except for the fact that the land they were selling was in Florida. Some of them went out on a limb and promised that it was above tide level. But that didnât matter; the very name Florida carried the message of warmth and ease and comfort. It was irresistible.
Iâve lived in good climate, and it bores the hell out of me. I like weather rather than climate. In Cuernavaca, Mexico, where I once lived, and where the climate is as near to perfect as is conceivable, I have found that when people leave there they usually go to Alaska. Iâd like to see how long an Aroostook County man can stand Florida.
The trouble is that with his savings moved and invested there, he canât very well go back. His dice are rolled and canât be picked up again. But I do wonder if a down-Easter, sitting on a nylon-and-aluminum chair out on a changelessly green lawn slapping mosquitoes in the evening of a Florida OctoberâI do wonder if the stab of memory doesnât strike him high in the stomach just below the ribs where it hurts.
