    Well, both of those do exist here but they arent the real Flroidians/Crackers

    I drive about the same maybe a little more to school. Funny how I'm closer to a different county yet I live in the other. I think I drive roughly 50 miles total a day. My dad has been tossing up the idea of sellin all the cows since feed and hay is so damn expensive. I think right now its close to $2k a month if not more.
