You know Nicole, endless golf would require a money tree. Last time I golfed was in Florida, & it was over 100 (not my golf score) & it very seldom goes above 100 in Florida.

My last visit there (2003), I decided this wasn't the same place as it was in the '70's & 80's, & no longer wished to return to. Too crowded, it has lost it's "charm", in addition it also has become very unaffordable (or rather exploited).

BTW, what is a roof rat? Never heard that term.
