A quaint drinking town with a hurricane problem

I kept waiting for a time when I could list all the reasons of why we continue to live here despite the crime, crumbling infrastructure, corrupt politicians etc. Well, that perfect time never seems to arrive so I will list them one at a time if necessary. Aside from the obvious, because God wants us here, duh, there is the weather. It is warm here. The sun shines almost every day. There is color all year round. Since Thanksgiving I have had pansies, snapdragons, and hibiscus blooming in my courtyard. Yes, we do have suffocating humidity in the summer and fall, and that hurricane/flooding issue to contend with, but every place has their own natural disasters to handle. I prefer to face ours with the perks that living here provide. More about those on another day.
