What Southern Florida is talking about this week:
It's the weather (it's always the weather). I'm here (just made the move from Ft. Lauderdale to South Beach this afternoon) because I wanted to escape the winter weather in Chicago (ironically, one day last week, it apparently hit 62 there) and it has been a few days of nothing but sun and 80 degrees all around -- which is a far cry from the cold snap they had here just two months ago. How cold was it? So cold that farmers used helicopters to fly low over the crops to create a warming effect at night. [Sadly, three of them crashed in the same morning!] Bottom line ... higher prices for strawberries, citrus, tomatoes and green beans. Plan your menus accordingly.
AND IGUANAS FELL OUT OF THE TREES!:
