Excerpt from: PARADISE FLORIDA The couple at the pool keep looking over at our car. We are passing papers back and forth without making any commitments. On the other hand, the couple must sell, must move, must have health care. Their hands always look older than their faces. Excerpt from: SOUTH PASEDENA Trailers are painted in gypsy colours: a little tack, some vagabond, over damaged metal. The distinct, adobe style is 'take it or leave it.' Deep purple and burnt yellow shade the light on the future. Encumbered eaves wave over each other. Lot lines are non-existent. Excerpt from: THOSE AT POOLSIDE There are more women than men at poolside. Only one gal can wear a two piece. The lottery has increased over the years to include jumbo, bath towels. Retired lawyers in health socks and liver spots line up for pancakes. As long as the people continue to believe in the dream all will be well in the market. Turn up the holy, country music! Excerpt from: RETIRED IN WINTERHAVEN They come back from the war wearing armour and metal. They walk the line into side shows and dance halls. The leaders boast that it is their clubhouse! A karaoke night brings out the best and the worst in one-sided arguments. Outside on the porch, Cliff laughs along with the dance girls. It is always the same guy in a Hawaiian shirt. Excerpt from: OLD FLORIDA TOWNS One last standing steeple: a monument to the hungry days of rhinestone living. Storefronts have been swept away. Empty spaces are frequent. The Liquor-Up Saloon has few patrons. Layers of human dust have settled. Most have lost something. Excerpt from: DO THE FLORIDA STROLL We go for 'Old Town' in Kissimmee. It's poor Walt's seedy cousin. An outdoor square fills up with denim, grey beards and leather. Couples dance in front of a band full of 'hash and whiskey.' Pony carousels and amusement rides swirl in the distance. Excerpt from: WE ARE AMERICANS The NRA purport themselves to be upholders of freedom. The right to bear arms: relates to a nation in the birth of revolution. Today, goon-heads rely on fear to justify their propaganda. Everyone who is in a corner joins the NRA to hear the gospel.
