Gosh! You guys might like Wyoming, though it is quite a bit colder than Florida. (6 inches of snow fell on my poor little tomato plants after I planted them in June!). People there seriously assured us that if someone gave too much trouble, they would be escorted out to the desert and not seen again. And, when a young an walked into our surveying office in 1970 with a gun on his hip, no one seemed to notice but me. Finally, my boss said, and I quote, "I see you're packin' iron." The response was, "Yeah, someone is jumping our jade claims and I'm going out to take care of it."
We got to get ourselves out there again to see how things are these days! The Wyomingites were the greatest people - very friendly and helpful to us dudes. Best compliment I've ever received came from one of the high schoolers the second year we were there - "Oh, you guys aren't dudes anymore..."
