stars & scales

In terms of falling in love with Florida, it was hard for me. What is love? Baby don't hurt me, don't hurt me, no more.

Here are two things I absolutely adore about my corner of the Sunshine State:
  • Supermarkets and their human scales near the entrances. Maybe this isn't unique to Florida but I like to think so. You never see a woman on one! Always men and children. And why are these scales there? I have absolutely no idea. But they are charming, and I love them.
  • We are close enough to the ocean that we see a lot of stars at night. Tons; well, unbelievable amounts! And we see fantastic shooting stars and fireballs to boot.
I will keep it simple for the time being. Two things here and there.

Ok, New York: up next.

hahaha! i never thought of our publix scales as quaint. i love how large they are, though. as if one is actually measuring themselves... and then themselves + groceries. i've always wanted to do that to see how much poundage of stuff i'm buying.

I heart Fl too. Now that you mention it I never noticed women on the scales either...hmm.

I heart Florida. Well, South Florida. Well...the Keys.

OK, I dislike most of Florida.
