DH regularly takes the coastal route which is 45 minutes instead of 30, but so much more relaxing. I-95 vs A1A. Of course, it could be the abundance of bikini clad scenery that holds his interest in the slow road.

Because books.
Aw, I remember A1A! Although now I'm remembering that when we lived in Boca Raton (1979, 1980), there was still a Sambo's there.
I would like to be in Florida right now. Or anywhere that isn't here.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I would also like to be in Florida right now, as I assume it is not snowing there.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
It's snowing in Tennessee.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Terrible in terms of scenery?
Yep, the works -- scenery, crappy sidewalks, exhaust, etc.
A1A just makes me think of Vanilla Ice.

Come visit! It is 78F at the moment, although they claim it will only be 68F tomorrow.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I woke up to 2-3" of snow on the car this morning. 68F would be fine with me.

We drive on A1A often. The joggers, bikers, and beach bums are pleasant scenery. Those that have driven the strip in Fort Lauderdale in the past may not realize that a significant chunk of A1A was lost to Hurricane Sandy. Not like New Jersey level damage, but there is a section now where there is no beach at all and just a seawall next to the road. They reduced it from 4 lanes to 2 in that area to make the seawall. I'll find a picture...

I have to say, 60 would be fine with me at this point.
Stupid "spring."

I was just remembered of the time in college I misguidedly took an honors English class (it was all English majors; I was not) and had to open my mouth in class to say that April REALLY IS the cruelest month! Especially in New England! Where Eliot was living when he wrote that! It's about the weather.
