10. I'm ready to go west, young man

when I lived in Miami, someone tried to break into my place, I was mugged, I used to get late night buzzers asking for the guy who used to live in my apt (ifyouknowwhatimean), my boss got shot by crooked cops because he wasn't paying them enough to "look the other way", at one time there were snipers on top of the buildings as I made my way to work (oh, and I got mugged when streets were closed because the head of FP&L was being held hostage in his home or some such...)

I live in a quiet college town now. It was a great place to raise kids. But it's a blue speck in a solid red state full of god botherers... sort of like much of the south.
