    Florida grows mostly juice oranges.

    Cali grows the eating oranges.

    I think it's stupid. You're going down a hill on jakes with your brake lights already on and something happens that you have to hit the brakes hard. Then some idiot slams into your rear end. Bound to happen if it hasn't already.

    49BB9026-FD28-4718-BBE7-9660D9D535D8.png The official countdown has begun. 24 hrs and counting. I’m really sorry none of you guys will be having any of this ham, except maybe @Dale thompson. I think he’s in the area, have to buy his own though.

    For that reason I would prefer that some version of the four ways were turned on. Or flash the brake lights based on how many G's of stopping force you are pulling.

    That’s the problem, wind reports may not have all the gusts reported. I’ve known a few that got blown over. 50 mph gusts, seems to be the magic #. I try to park facing the wind if possible.

    You can keep it. Those spiral sliced ham slices are just too thin for me. Give me a thick sliced slab anytime.
