Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
Yah.. lot of "red..eks" here in FL .. lol

I would not take a news article that featured an ‘armadillo invasion’ in Florida too seriously.
People come here for the sunshine, no state income tax, reasonable local government, and law and order. They put up with hurricanes, property taxes, unending highway construction and roaches that need a rope. But on balance it’s been our choice the last 20 years or so, overall.

I have gradually become less reluctant to tell people I am from Ohio. I have also accepted the reality that I will most likely, gladly live here the rest of my life. Maybe if I got to pick I wouldn't pick it again, but nothing else is attractive enough to undo what I have here.
There’s a guy in Coeur d’Alene who owns one of these:

I’ve been next to him when he fired it up to leave. The entire circle of enthusiasts—including me—all took several involuntary steps back as the turbine spooled up. Totally insane.

Armadillo's have been migrating steadily north, not south in my experience. I never saw one in Kansas as a youth, there are plenty around now.
I've never lived in Florida, but have been there several times over the years, enough so that I've experienced every 'season' or time of the year.
The fact that there isn't enough cold to kill bugs or weeds gets you to roaches that need a rope and that is one reason I'd never live there.
I was curious about the rest of the article.
Adding nothing to the conversation since 2015....
Bite your head off man.
A used 420RR will set one back a quarter-mil.
If we have to march off into the next world, let us walk there on the bodies of our enemies.
That’s about what they ran new, a decade back. I’m sure they’re even more now.
