Florida, Snowbirds, Yankees, and the Mason-Dixon Line

[shenandoah]

Justin Wilson was great to watch.  Wine in everything!  However, he was not a true cajun.  The accent was just for show.   I used to also watch Bob Ross, the painter.  He also had some funny stories about Florida, Alaska and just about everywhere else.

Bob Ross was cool but his low-key way of speaking was kinda creepy.

I grew up in Georgia, Alabama, and (when visiting my grandparents) Mississippi, and I must say we never really felt that Florida was part of "Dixie." Maybe it was the Spanish influence--somehow Florida seemed a little different from the English-Scots-Irish culture left over in the Deep (but not As Deep) South.

I believe that. I was in Florida a couple few times, and even the terrain and vegetation can be considerably different, lending to that out-of-place feeling. The weather is generally a bit hotter too, and sunnier it seemed, plus the sand is white limestone sand usually, not the tannish quartz sandstone sand. It all adds up in a way t0 make Florida different.
