I see Florida is ranked 32 and and I call BS.
We have more veterans than most states, almost everyone has at least a few guns (and a hefty number have carry permits), and we have a huge number of athletes resident within our borders.
Heck, most of the major league baseball teams spend a large part of the year training right here. Triathlons are as common as Starbucks Stores and you can hardly walk across any street without getting run over by a herd of bicycle riders.
Even our seniors are in better shape here than in most other states. You should see the Gold's Gym at 9:30 AM any day of the week. Solid silver doing elliptical training, power yoga, tread mills, or just pushing weights. At least that's what this senior sees the 5 days each week that I hit the gym.
Florida can be essentially self-sustaining when it comes to beef, milk, eggs, and vegetable production and we can augment that with abundant seafood.
And for relaxation, the comely and nubile young nymphs populating our beaches could motivate the nearly dead to a whole new attitude (at least it worked that way on me).
Further, I was as surprised as Tom that the entire SE was red. I'll put my money on a Louisiana Cajun over a zombie any day of the week. Them old boys iz tuff!
So if any of you damn Yankees want a safe place to weather the zombie apocalypse, c'mon down. And bring money.
