Now as far as the economy of Florida collapsing without "snowbird", come on man get serious, there are many other thriving parts of the Florida economy that are not impacted at all by the tourist business.
Sorry that I sounded inhospitable. I'm a "moan-back" myself, having recently returned to Florida from NC. Laman has expressed the point I was trying to make. Snowbirds (and everyone else) don't take yourselves so seriously. Sure you are a part of the economy, but you aren't THE economy. This attitude can be very annoying to others. I am not dependent on the tourist industry but I do write outdoor recreational books, most of them about Florida. I like it when folks spend money on books. lizzie
