Turnpike Exit 10
A woman came home, screeching her car into the driveway, and ran into the house. She slammed the door and shouted at the top of her lungs,

"Honey, pack your bags. I won the lottery!"

The husband said, "Oh my! What should I pack, beach stuff or mountain stuff?"

"Doesn't matter," she said. "Just get the heck out!"

Way, way south.
Nice.

But, I do believe there are many people on vacation in here.

Where I live, this is the off season (unlike most places), and you can actually go out to eat w/o waiting 90 minutes for a table. Very refreshing.

And, so far, no hurricanes!
