Now Seminole Wind is playing in my head. Thanks.

I've been saying for years that that should be the state song. Most people that live in Florida can't even find the Suwanee river on a map. Don't get me wrong, the Suwanee is amazing, I got married on the banks of it. It's just an outdated song and John Anderson deserves that legacy.

It's had a 90 year run as the state song. Start a petition or harass a state representative...Seminole Wind would be way better.

Yep, and then we could start calling the Su-wa-nee with the correct pronunciation.

Changed the way you pronounce it's name just to make it fit his song! BS.

Conversely, maybe more people would pronounce Micanopy correctly instead of my-canopy. Doubt we'll ever win the battle between Alachua and Alachuay, but considering it was originally called La Chua I guess we should just let that one slide.

There is Mackinac Island, the Mackinac Bridge, the Straits of Mackinac, Mackinac County, Mackinaw City and the United States Coast Guard Cutter, Mackinaw. But whether it’s spelled Mackinac or Mackinaw it’s pronounced the same way, with an “aw” at the end.

Dude, I know American don't have good geography classes in school but Canada and Mexico? That is a bit of a stretch I would think. Even the densest person knows where those countries are.

look i know theyre intentionally picking and choosing the retards they put on the internet but theres plenty of videos with dumb blondes being confused with Canada not actually 'being in america on the map'

Which part?

[ - ] solomonpapermaster 1 point 11 monthsFeb 4, 2025 21:51:01 ago (+1/-0)

I almost got a foot infection looking at that picture. There hell is that? Are those leafs I see? So not quiet north (it would be frozen) not quite south either (half naked trees). At least there aren't snakes swimming in the water I would think.

North Florida, bout an hour south of the Florida/Georgia line. I think it's duck weed on top. This was just a small swamp, only a couple acres. They go on for miles in some places. Weather was really warm today, probably brushed up against 80°, so yeah definitely not frozen.

That looks so cool. Nature is so cool man. We got shit like this and tundras and deserts. We got those big trees the redwoods which are almost as big as my penis. Cool earth. It’s a shame it’s inhabited by cats but we can solve that we teamwork.

They probably did at one point, people have been living in this area for more than 10,000 years. They recently found a bunch of dug out canoes at a lake nearby that were dated to 3000 years ago. They drained part of the lake for some reason and found the canoes embedded in the mud. Whoever's construction project it was must have been pissed.

One of the last places in Florida you definitely will not find niggers unless they are running from the law - which makes them fair game…..

Mosquitoes?
