If it's snowbird season why can't we shoot them? :roll: :lol:

That would be cruel. If we just stopped feeding them they'd eventually stop coming around.

I have two sons living in Florida - one in Pt St Lucie and one in Ocklawaha. If you lower your side window just an inch, you can hear the banjoes playing as you drive near Ocklawaha.

Here it was -10F yesterday morning and -5F this morning. Spring is going to be a couple weeks late.

It's OK as long as you don't say it "que carajo"

BW326 Loc: Boynton Beach, Florida

I just looked up que el carajo and que carajo in the Bing translator .... quite a difference. I see what you mean.
