Errr, they only reduced ir 20k, or do my eyes deceive me?

Rob Dawg said...

Exactly. Less than 2%. Way to grow stale.

LBD said...

Just enough to shout "Price Reduced" Not my idea unless there is water involved. 🏝

Rob Dawg said...

How about a little privacy? Room for a pool or lawn bowling? Road noise?

Unknown said...

what is California casual?

Lawyerliz said...

No clothes

There is a plague out break in Madagascar.

Rob Dawg said...

"California casual great room" is a family room for 5x the price.

I've been talking about since Maria hit. Miami took in 100,000 Marielitos with great success, some years ago I assume we can take in 2 or 300,000 P Rs. The Spanish speakers have migrated north, some what. Easier to integrate than creole Haitian speakers, and we've done quite well with them
When I moved to central Florida, the rich Portuguese were starting. You people are so narrowly provincial. Worried about a few Mexicans, hah.

Lawyerliz said...

They are American citizens. They can go anyplace here they want. Camp out on the white house lawn. Hahahahaha

Lawyerliz said...

Miami has a Canadian outpost, and used to have a New York Jewish enclave.

Lawyerliz said...

Central Florida is ethnically boring.

300,000 PRs would take Florida from purple to solid blue overnight.

America 2.0

Rob Dawg said...

There's a difference between coming to America and bringing Mexico to to the US.

Lawyerliz said...

Whats wrong with Mexico? There used to be something wrong with the Irish, but isn't any more. Don't you like the food?

dilbert dogbert said...

Hi Liz. Interesting times. The sweet and wonderful wife is on a scuba expedition down in Cozumel and Nate kept her on land. At least this one is not headed for the interesting daughter in FloriDoH! BTW, we got a new grand daughter and the interesting daughter has also delivered a new grandson. Winning!!!

dilbert dogbert said...

Liz the wife will get wet today!!! WhoRaw!!!

Lawyerliz said...

Won't there be lots of high waves? Congrats. Make sure she gives be tips to down trodden Mexicans.

dilbert dogbert said...

Liz,
She said the storm was a nothing burger at Cozumel. I asked for storm pics and she said even the sunsets were nothing burgers. BooHoo! I told her to extend her stay. American Airlines made the trip down 24hrs!! Equipment problems. A friend had the same problems flying to Ohio. He finally left the plane and rented a car as that was the quickest way to Dayton.

LBD said...

Good Morning! 🍩☕️

I'm with RD on the Mexican thing. It's not the people it's wanting to bring Mexico with them.

Lawyerliz said...

What does that MEAN?

dilbert dogbert said...

LBd
Irish: Rum Rebellion and Romanism and being lazy.
Italians: Garlic!
Polish: Porogies!
Chinese: Tongs and Chow Mien
Jews: MMMMM can't go there
Germans: BEER!!!
Japanese: ????
Russians: Fort Ross and Alaska

My grand dad brought a bit of Germany with him. My grandma a lot of Appalachian via England and Scott Irish. My abandoning father some Irish. The rest I don't know. My son and daughter got 1/4 French. She looks really French and is slender. We are from everywhere, and so is nearly everyone.

Lawyerliz said...

Scotch... Engineers
Japanese.. . Food, pottery and art
Jews . . Yiddish Theater, determination, deli sandwiches. Financial ability
Germans. . . Music, mathmatics, bad stuff, pretzels.
FRENCH food. Liberty Egality, Fraternity, Gothic cathedrals

LBD said...

Big difference LL. This is about blending into an American. Most just want money and not being an honest American. Live in LA like we did and you will see what we mean. Merritt Island is probably disconnected from day to day living with them. Japanese/Asians brought us rice bowls. Funny I had one last night. Store was run and probably owned by the Mexican who served us. Not a racist thing. IMO.

Lawyerliz said...

Britz.
. . Poetry, literature, world conquering, rock music.
Spain. . Inquisition

Lawyerliz said...

Stay here long enough and you are an American.

Lawyerliz said...

Mexicans,,. . . ANTHOPOLOGICO museum. Food. Integrating 3 cultures,corn, patience of the theft of their land by our ancestors. Chapolltepec Park.

LBD said...

Come here legally then you may become an American. Born here to an illelage is not many people's idea of being an American. Laws don't always make things right. Buying you way in isn't either. IMO

Cinco-X said...

Irish food? Blech...

Cinco-X said...

You forgot to include "cowardice" for the French...

Lawyerliz said...

A cultural American.
