He is a doctor and ran on a platform of not taking a paycheck, wholesomeness, non-politician. His first four went well, good decisions and lots of new businesses for the State. Then..... he turned into a High School Boy with the flirtations of an attractive younger woman. History repeats itself over and over and over..... well you get the picture. Position and Power attract.

So how did Bentley get re-elected in 2014 ? In fact, he won the largest percentage of the vote that any republican gubernatorial candidate had received in modern Alabama history. He must have been wildly popular !

He was . It's an embarrassment though what a joke . Politicians in this state are always shady as hell

"ECMWF seasonal model strongly suggests Central Pacific El Nino Modoki by October."

Anyone suggest some understandable reading on what a Central Pacific El Nino Modoki leads to?

Bentley won in 2014 because his opponent was Parker Griffith. Possibly the only politician in the state more corrupt than Bentley. Griffith changed parties a couple of times depending on the party of his opponent. Pathetic.

I'm for sure no expert on this . But to me that implies a below normal Precip wise winter across the southeast as the jet would be forced south

Lol!

Btw I had no idea you were in Savannah. Definitely jealous, I love that city. I've been many places but nothing quite compares. I'd love to move there one day, I'd have to give up snow but it would be worth it to me.

The good news is that you wouldn't at all have to give up snow. They get a trace every few years, measurable snow every 10 years or so (last one 2/2010), and 1"+ about every 15 years. Two decades on record actually got 3 different snows of 1"+. So, perhaps not as bad as you might think. Also, if you like cold, they almost always have a few lows at least down into the mid to upper 20's, which was even the case this winter (lowest of 26 was actually on March 16).

The bad thing assuming you don't like it is the endless summer humidity. Dewpoints in the low to mid 70's on most days...yuck...although if you could get to the beach you can usually get some relief in the afternoon with less heat and sea breezes.
 
I wonder if that's in the state park that my dad was interested in near Gainesville. Payne's Prairie? (I just looked and yes it is :eek:)

(in case you're wondering, it's not likely we take a trip to Florida this year, I'm going to be busy in the summer and if we do go somewhere my dad has already settled on giving the Smoky Mountains a second shot)

I definitely would not go there until after the 1st freeze and would get back out by about May 1st - unless you want to be eaten by skeeters bigger than that gator ... LOL
 
eh, I know I haven't been there much and was on/near the water both times but for me, the Florida heat/humidity is just typical Southern heat/humidity. That I got to experience at its worst until my dad got his A/C fixed as his A/C would fail to keep it even at the high temp he sets it at (76-77) when it was at the brute of summer.

It's fixed but there have been times in which it'd get as high as 83-84 when it was 95-100 in the summer.

Payne's Prairie - slap dab in the middle of the north part of the state - a water recharge area - a lake that went away with a sinkhole - used to have steam ships on it - a beautiful place (about 5 miles south of UF) - a beautiful place from a car with A/C until the 1st freeze and until early May - after that - you're on your own -- zika anyone ???

He did say that he might think about going in the fall since it wasn't near the water but it then just fell off the list of ideas we had of where to travel to. It might come back next year when there's a possibility we do our second two stop trip due to length of the drive, or we might take a stop at something interesting I accidentally stumbled onto on the Gulf Coast part of Florida, which is slipping my mind at the moment.

That actually happens to be what I was looking at some time ago haha now that I see it. I looked at a website for a few minutes, not sure if it was this one and I said "If we go see our folks in their new home down in Florida, we gotta check this place out on the way, man, this place looks cool!"

We weren't going to even if I wasn't doing anything this summer.
