    BTW, I have a friend that has developed "Roan's Theory". Roan's theory, while originally written for the tropics, still applies to Florida.

    Roan's theory states that all of us are born with one leg a bit shorter than the other. The crazier that you are, the greater this difference. Everyone must migrate south until they find a place where the curvature of the earth is correct for them to actually stand up straight. Now, the equator is actually perfect for the craziest people, they can face either direction and stand up straight. Therefore, the crazier you are, the further south you go. This explains a lot of the nutjobs you meet in the tropics. Naturally, environmental conditions tend to offset the Roan effect. As example, when you and 88 of your closest friends are starving to death, then rowing a 17 foot boat 300 miles north makes sense, which means that you are not crazy enough to starve to death and therefore moving a bit North validates the theory.

    I think it is more like 90 miles

    Kinda depends on where you start out and end up doesn't it?
