But........with the highest mountain in your area being a measly 400 feet, I am not sure we could classify your house as being in a high mountainess areas.

Did I get that right? 400 feet?

Well, he didn't say "mountainous." That means "having many mountains," which this area most certainly does not.

He said "mountainess," which would mean "the wife or widow of a mountain."

That's WAY different.

OOOOOOOOOoooohhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

I'll have you know that I have the five tallest mountains in Florida with in a 40 mile radius. They are as follows:

Iron Mountain (Lake Wales, FL. Approx. 350 feet above sea level.)
Space Mountain
Big Thunder Mountain
Splash Mountain
Mount May Day

And soon Mount Everest.

350 feet? Boy! I was sure generous! I guess living in a state that has the HIGHEST mountain in the continuious US might make it difficult for be to understand why 350 feet is called a mountain.

I don't know. Just something to think about.

I moved to Florida shortly after Mount St. Helens blew up, and I used to show the natives all my pics of that and the mountains around Wa state. It was kind of amusing to see some of the reactions- like I was from some sort of exotic locale. I eventually moved back, because I really missed the mountains and forests. (And we don't have cockroaches or cottenmouth's here).

But you a have raccoons.

Yeah! I agree with my friend with the Italian accent. At least in Florida we only have Ghost Ninja Racoons.

(Actually, WendyBeth, it sounds like I great place. I hear the North-west is beautiful. I'd love to see it sometime. Although it's hard to imagine a place without roaches and poisonous snakes. The next thing you're going to tell me is that you don't have hurricanes and butterfly ballots.

Lol, Matterhorn and HTH!

Yes, we have raccoons- very large ones, in fact. I'll have to dig out the pics of the ones Eric was feeding marshmallows to. We don't have butterfly ballots, but we do have dead people that vote! I think they have cockroaches over on the coast, but none that I'm aware of here on the eastern side.

Matterhorn Fan · 01-19-2005, 05:30 AM

Italian accent? Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to be in HTH's head, but then I think about that for a bit and it really, really scares me.

I'm sad that I didn't get a butterfly ballot this year--after waiting in line for an hour to vote, it's the least they could have done! My ballot did fall under the floor when the stupid zip your ballot out of the secrecy folder machine thingy didn't work right (of course, maybe that was user error, but when the amount of instruction given is "put it there," I can't be blamed).

wendybeth--HTH has never seen real snow.
