[00:10:21] elcasey keke

[00:10:28] elcasey lurkin round the bins

[01:05:22] elcasey oh nice one, good luck!

[01:06:23] elcasey guessing you're in a state where you can't detain them yourself?

[01:06:55] elcasey thieves are the lowest form of life

[01:07:28] elcasey ah ok, well at least it's not your personal property like if it was your small business, I thought that might be the case (not an excuse, of course, but at least you're not *personally* damaged by this)

[01:08:03] elcasey in Florida you can't just shoot the bastard but you CAN produce a firearm and hold them until law enforcement arrives, at least

[01:08:21] elcasey I mean I guess not at Walgreens hahahaha

[01:08:45] elcasey oh cool, I was just in Phoenix about a week ago (Maricopa County kek)

[01:08:51] elcasey first time out there

[01:09:09] elcasey i believe it, thankfully I had a nice time

[01:09:20] elcasey work, but still enjoyed myself

[01:09:35] elcasey my cousin lives in PHX too

[01:09:44] elcasey we went to Tempe when we were already hammered to shit

[01:10:14] elcasey I never realized it was PHX/Tempe/Scottsdale like all jammed together before

[01:10:17] elcasey very similar to my hometown

[01:10:33] elcasey I already told them don't expect me back after March :P

[01:10:39] elcasey I have no need to experience an Arizon summer

[01:10:47] elcasey Florida is bad enough

[01:10:57] elcasey (I say that like I'm all cool, if they tell me to, I'll go)

[01:11:00] elcasey yeah I hate it

[01:11:06] elcasey not Florida but the weather

[01:11:38] elcasey that's what everyone says, and we laugh about it

[01:11:41] elcasey so MAYBE I should go experience it

[01:12:01] elcasey does it ever get proper cold, like below 40F?

[01:12:12] elcasey it was in the damn 60s when I was there

[01:12:26] elcasey which is nice, don't get me wrong, and like low 50s in the early morning

[01:12:37] elcasey oh really didn't realize that

[01:12:46] elcasey i guess up in the mountains like, what is it, Scottsdale?

[01:12:57] elcasey apologies, I know almost nothing about the place

[01:13:00] elcasey ah ok

[01:13:37] elcasey lovely

[01:13:50] elcasey ice can fuck off but I like a good 40F day

[01:14:13] elcasey how about summer?

[01:14:15] elcasey still 100F?

[01:15:58] elcasey probably feels about the same as FL with the humidity

[01:16:04] elcasey your skin is burning and it's hard to breathe

[01:16:05] elcasey paradise

[01:16:29] elcasey ok that is probably the humidity honestly

[01:16:31] elcasey yeah

[01:17:18] elcasey ok if they keep me on (I'm a consultant so I change clients frequently) I won't be all pissy about coming out in summer

[01:17:23] elcasey it WILL suck but so does FL

[01:17:34] elcasey and I know people use AC in AZ ... unlike Colombia wtf

[01:18:12] elcasey I went to Cali in September and literally nobody has a fucking air conditioner and that (along with several other issues) ruined my trip

[01:18:33] elcasey my own stupid fault for not staying in a proper hotel

[01:18:37] elcasey oh well, you live and you learn

[01:20:25] elcasey :D

[01:20:35] elcasey i am attracted to this now, it being THIS horrible

[01:20:46] elcasey I am just so sick of every fucker moving down here and saying how "nice" Florida is

[01:20:52] elcasey FUCK YOU IT'S HORRIBLE

[01:20:57] elcasey now go back up north

[01:21:24] elcasey probably get the same lot in AZ, though

[01:21:44] elcasey Merv and Marge Goldstein from Connecticut

[01:28:40] elcasey yeah I think the weather is fairly nice from Nov (if it cools off) to the end of April, actually

[01:28:48] elcasey but then it's 6 months of hell

[01:29:30] elcasey probably, I've never really spent much time in south Florida

[01:30:04] elcasey I'm a native of a place Melbourne, if you ever heard of it. About 50mi south of the space center (where I worked, my dad worked, and my grandfather worked, at various points)

[01:30:09] elcasey called*

[01:30:33] elcasey ok it's about an hour and a half south of that on I95

[01:30:49] elcasey that area is nice, not Daytona but the whole Flagler/Duval County (Jax) area

[01:30:57] elcasey I like north Florida because it IS South Georgia

[01:31:11] elcasey St Augustine is great

[01:31:44] elcasey I moved to Tampa around a decade a ago for work, hated it, moved down to Manatee County, it is pretty shit, so I am selling my house and coming back to Melbourne

[01:32:02] elcasey my parents are old now, they need me, and there is no reason for me to stay over there, especially since EVERYONE is moving there now

[01:32:16] elcasey lol yeah re: the trees

[01:32:31] elcasey most of the palms aren't like natively there though

[01:32:38] elcasey but they thrive

[01:32:53] elcasey they grew plantations of them

[01:33:12] elcasey i am talking out of my ass too and I've had a few drinks

[01:33:18] elcasey I am not a tree expert, not even of Florida :P

[01:33:30] elcasey but yeah, I am mostly used to palmettos and longleaf pines

[01:33:41] elcasey yucca

[01:33:46] elcasey "dead"

[01:33:51] elcasey "thorn bush"

[01:33:59] elcasey sorry just being a shit :P

[01:40:52] elcasey hehe

[01:41:21] elcasey 2 trips ago (long story but I am back and forth east to west coast of Florida a lot)

[01:41:38] elcasey I was on I75 northbound around 6:15am and absolutely blew the fucking doors off a Cybertruck

[01:41:50] elcasey this idiot must've been going 55, I wasn't doing more than 80

[01:42:26] elcasey but like wtf, he obviously didn't have the computer driving or it would go, uh, the speed limit? Which is 70 ..

[01:42:30] elcasey just seemed odd

[01:42:40] elcasey so many morons, even that early, i couldn't believe it

[01:43:01] elcasey which is why i drive backroads through the middle of nowhere usually and stay the hell of the interstates

[01:50:42] elcasey yes I did haha

[01:50:55] elcasey the view from the plane was great but I was like shit there is literally millions of acres of NOTHING out there

[01:51:23] elcasey i want land and no neighbors but ... not in a desert

[01:51:48] elcasey i am wanting forest

[01:52:05] elcasey and my little 1-2 acre enclave carved out of the middle of 20 acres or so

[01:52:14] elcasey that's the dream but I don't have the money yet

[01:52:27] elcasey that's kinda cool

[01:52:30] elcasey prairie then

[01:53:20] elcasey that's great if you wanna stay where you grew up. I don't, but only because I know that the Florida I grew up in will never exist again, it's impossible

[01:53:42] elcasey they built houses and apartments over it most of it for starters :P

[01:56:46] elcasey Neo_Nemesis: ooh man that is pretty nice

[01:56:56] elcasey i did like being able to just see the mountains from the city

[01:57:21] elcasey that is really pretty

[01:57:42] elcasey here on a clear day you can see...your neighbor's house

[01:57:49] elcasey because FL is flat as fuck as there is nothing to see at all

[01:58:23] elcasey there is one area of Polk County that I drive through that is surprisingly hilly, like 200' elevation change

[01:58:51] elcasey I am envious of these jokers who live there and they all seem quite poor except the grove owners and ranchers

[01:59:19] elcasey like how do you obviously make zero money, you live in a fucking shack, but you have 5 acres of beautiful land in Florida?

[02:00:23] elcasey hngh if that was my backyard view I could live in the AZ desert/prairie/whatever

[02:00:39] elcasey as long as it was like a national park and I knew nobody could ever move there or build on that land :D

[02:00:54] elcasey oh brilliant

[02:02:51] elcasey I am actually familiar with that history so that is really cool

[02:03:14] elcasey so cool

[02:03:30] elcasey we had a patch of land in NC, 4 acres on a mountainside with a waterfall and a creek

[02:03:37] elcasey my parents sold it of course ... for like 20K *sigh*

[02:04:09] elcasey but I remember finding arrowheads in the creek and we even took them to a local antiques guy (called Smiley, what a place) because my parents were like "bullshit you did not"

[02:04:28] elcasey and he was like yeah these are proper arrowheads. I had them ages, I wish I knew where they were

[02:05:13] elcasey when you're a kid and a place is full of dynamite plungers and giant prehistoric shark teeth it's like being in another world, it was so cool

[02:05:54] elcasey ah well, those days are long gone day. good memories, though, and super cool you can find arrowheads on your own land! or at least where you're hiking and stuff

[02:06:08] elcasey WV always seemed weird

[02:06:11] elcasey it is a bit

[02:06:24] elcasey but not the same, because I think I know what you mean, WV always seems rainy

[02:06:42] elcasey never been there though, maybe drove through parts

[02:07:09] elcasey ever since I was a teenager I spent all my vacation dollars and time going to Europe instead of other parts of the US

[02:07:18] elcasey (I don't mean every year :P)

[02:07:35] elcasey yeah same in FL when that humidity switch is flipped

[02:09:08] elcasey I am a mind-your-own-business-ist libertarian (lowercase l) so CO might be tough for me but I would love to go check it out

[02:09:35] elcasey was never in AZ before PHX but I liked it so far and I know that's the big city

[02:10:11] elcasey we (fam) did ID, WY, MT, and SD in like 94, we went to Yellowstone

[02:10:13] elcasey it was so great

[02:10:22] elcasey but I think now AZ might be the farthest West I've ever been in the US

[02:10:29] elcasey never been to the coast yet

[02:10:41] elcasey it was amazing, so glad we did it

[02:10:46] elcasey especially in the 90s

[02:11:21] elcasey and we used to do lots of trips up the east coast along Blue Ridge Pkwy

[02:11:51] elcasey i miss it but at least we got to experience it!

[02:14:10] elcasey yeah I remember those views in MT/WY/SD

[02:14:12] elcasey holy cow

[02:14:34] elcasey that's really not that bad to me

[02:14:51] elcasey I lived in Moscow for a year (and as a Florida native had never lived anywhere else with real winter)

[02:15:02] elcasey that was a learning experience, holy shit

[02:17:50] elcasey Neo_Nemesis: that was the year that I learned that -40 is the *same* temp in F and C >.<

[02:21:29] elcasey I got frostbite from walking like 500m home after the tram stalled and made everyone get off

[02:21:36] elcasey not serious, it was like a minor sunburn

[02:21:38] elcasey but yeah

[02:21:50] elcasey and that was nearly 20yrs ago

[02:22:08] elcasey the time it took me to flip the ear flaps out of my hat, I already got frostbite on my face and ears hehe

[02:22:20] elcasey yeah that sounds horrid

[02:22:31] elcasey sometimes I'm like "Casey, stfu and stay in Florida, you have it made"

[02:24:38] elcasey we do have a lot of colombians

[02:24:48] elcasey we have a lot of mexicans too

[02:24:51] elcasey on the farms here

[02:24:54] elcasey but not like AZ

[02:25:30] elcasey but it was weird, until I went to Colombia, I didn't know any Colombians outside of the Colombian restaurant in my hometown

[02:25:52] elcasey all of a sudden, literally the day I flew back from Cali, I am in MIA, start chatting to this Colombian woman

[02:26:02] elcasey I leave the airport, too fed up for Uber, I get a taxi

[02:26:05] elcasey driver is Colombian

[02:26:17] elcasey I have a shower and come down to the bar, the bartender is Colombian

[02:26:25] elcasey like WTFFFFFFF (not that I minded)

[02:26:41] elcasey (taxi to the hotel, for context)

[02:28:51] elcasey i like the food

[02:29:01] elcasey but i didn't like colombia

[02:29:10] elcasey i didn't like Cali anyway

[02:29:23] elcasey I wanna go to Monterrey, I have some really good people there

[02:30:05] elcasey they worked for me on a project at work (IT stuff), they just really impressed me, and we got to be friends and I would basically do anything for those people now

[02:30:17] elcasey so I definitely owe them a "site visit" :P

[02:30:41] elcasey lol yeah I rememebr hearing about the "US drivers license is plenty of ID for MX" days

[02:30:58] elcasey at least they have the passport card now for road and ship POEs

[02:31:10] elcasey but I am used to carrying my proper passport anyway

[02:31:14] elcasey haha

[02:31:24] elcasey "please do not enter the US illegally through this gate"

[02:31:30] elcasey OK no problemo, senor

[02:32:31] elcasey in the GOOD OLD DAYS

[02:32:33] elcasey ;(

[02:32:39] elcasey everything is shit now

[02:32:44] elcasey doesn't matter where you go

[02:34:38] elcasey lol that's mental (the coyote, not End3r's balls)

[02:35:49] elcasey man yesterday I was driving back from my house on the west coast, on SR62 I think it is (you're not in FL so who cares sorry :P), from Parrish to Bowling Green, and not even a mile past the prison this guy literally comes flying past at at least 110mph

[02:35:52] elcasey this is a 2-lane road

[02:36:24] elcasey lmao @ "something is wrong"

[02:37:01] elcasey Neo_Nemesis: ok you're really selling me on AZ tbh

[02:37:11] elcasey "anything can happen plus it snows in winter"

[02:37:22] elcasey yeah fuck PHX

[02:37:41] elcasey i will go there for work but I'd never buy a place there

[02:37:51] elcasey mi barriooooooo

[02:38:00] elcasey it's ok, i'm part puerto rican ;D

[02:40:43] elcasey and in every major city in the US and sadly now also rural areas

[02:41:01] elcasey End3r: nah not really

[02:41:22] elcasey i just watch MAGA threads and either go "fuck yeah" or "you're literally retarded" depending on the topic

[02:41:38] elcasey zzzz

[02:43:23] elcasey :D

[02:45:50] elcasey hence the name "California"

[02:45:52] elcasey HA HA

[02:45:54] elcasey see what I did there?

[02:45:58] elcasey brb I need some water

[02:48:21] elcasey yeah it seems geographically/geologically nice, I have some online friends there who show me stuff

[02:48:26] elcasey especially nocal

[02:49:35] elcasey well ... speed limits in FL are merely suggestions

[02:49:56] elcasey and I get very annoyed at immis here who don't understand that

[02:50:01] elcasey drive at the speed of the flow of traffic

[02:50:15] elcasey Neo_Nemesis: well that's not good

[02:50:33] elcasey kek nice use of Californian in that joke

[02:51:21] elcasey Neo_Nemesis: there are utter lunatics, some guy in a minivan was literally doing 120+ down 528 weaving in and out of traffic

[02:51:45] elcasey like wtf are you doing buddy, you're mad that everyone is only going 80-fucking-5 at 7am?

[02:52:36] elcasey i hate that

[02:52:54] elcasey i drive fast but i don't drive stupid and i don't drive fast in residential areas

[02:52:56] elcasey like wtf

[02:53:14] elcasey what happens if a kid or a dog runs out in front of you, asshole? I get so steamed

[02:53:31] elcasey Kuro-chan: yeah what's your deal? x)

[02:55:15] elcasey i also hate people who have ONE speed, they will do 40mph whether it is down a residential street or the middle of the damn main road (not motorway but like where the speed limit is 45-55mph)

[02:55:57] elcasey drives me crazy

[02:58:12] elcasey that seems to check out

[02:58:17] elcasey Boston was a nuthouse

[02:59:55] elcasey I like to run about 85 but the posted limit is 70

[03:00:04] elcasey and believe I am FAR from the fastest out there

[03:00:34] elcasey I am very happy doing 75-80, my deal is I just don't want to be around anyone else

[03:01:07] elcasey so I usually have to pass them, people like to drive in herds (no shock there)

[03:01:44] elcasey we have keep right laws too but I don't they're ever enforced based on the way these assholes drive

[03:01:55] elcasey think*

[03:03:36] elcasey oh I've driven to Morenci in American Truck Simulator :D

[03:04:32] elcasey jeez i can just imagine some dillhole coming around one of those blind curves at 70+

[03:05:07] elcasey subbed

[03:05:20] elcasey please produce more content hehe

[03:07:46] elcasey well you know what i mean

[03:07:52] elcasey some dikhed crossing the center line

[03:08:42] elcasey long bloody drive at avg speed of what, 40?

[03:26:29] elcasey Neo_Nemesis: well I need to get some sleep, should get up early and it's pushing 11 here. Good meeting you, take care!

[03:32:05] elcasey <3
