Ocala is slow, yes, but I just love this climate from being a southern boy....I was WAY out of my element last winter in Louisville - and I heard I was actually lucky because the winter was mild last year....mild my arse

I would go to work and never take my jacket off in the office and people thought I was crazy.....the hotter the better for me, man....

It was 92 degrees in Ocala over the weekend and I was loving every minute of it...people are still parading the beaches and that is the stuff I like to do. Plus, its REALLY nice to be able to enjoy a round of golf this time of year, and the locals at the Country Club I joined say that you can wear shorts in January when playing golf - I said, SOLD!

It is slow here coming from New Orleans and Louisville because of the size, but Gainesville is only 30 min. away and Tampa and Orlando are only like an hour to an hour and a half away. Plus, Daytona and other Atlantic beaches and most of the decent beaches on the gulf side aren't a far commute either way you want to go and that is my scene.....

I'm still convinced I was spawned from the Ocean and raised by Thoroughbreds
