I would like to interject a comment about "The Election" here.
I've become good friends with one of our members that lives in northern Florida. When we started e-mailing each other, I discovered that he actually lives in the next time zone over from me. In other words, when it is 8:00 o'clock here, it is only 7:00 o'clock there.
He said that this little known fact was part of what sparked all the controversy to begin with. Peter Jennings was gleefully announcing that Al Gore had "WON" the Florida electoral votes, when the panhandle part of the state still had 1 hour left to finish voting....and that portion of the state overwhemingly voted for Bush.
If the national TV media could have been just a "tad" more patient, there may have never been a controversy to start with.
You are 100% Correct I grew up in the panhandle of Florida, My family Still lives in the panhandle.
