Allen Thu, 24 Sep 2009 02:12:30 +0000 http://johnclay.bloginky.com/?p=9508#comment-9024 I love this "Southern"boy. Being born in Florida doesn't make one "Southern". Too many people in Florida came from "some place else". I don't care when they got there - they are still from "some place else". My husband and I have lived in Florida - off and on- for many, many years. We love that sunshine that God gave them (Floridians didn't invent it!) in the winter time, but we are Kentuckians, born and bred, and I don't care how many football or basketball players that Florida raises or imports, I shall still be a Kentuckian when it comes to my teams. I suppose it happens that a lot of other people love that winter sunshine and warmth also, but they will never know that wonderful feeling that comes with watching a few Kentucky boys - plus a few imports on occasion- take home a trophy. You have to have been born here to really know that feeling. I am sorry for those Floridians. They have too much else interfering in their minds to know that feeling. Sue N.
