The young and restless are bored, often jobless, and may turn to crime and stuff. And the prison industry is as prosperous as the medical industry. Be fit! There are many traps in the jungle. Beware! This is a money jungle. If they treat you like an insect, be a nagging mosquito. Make noise! And don’t feed the lion. Go roaming free. The best comes when you skip the pump and eat what you love. Set up a bike with cargo capacity. Make it an SUB (sport utility bike). Be proud! And play the music loud.”

It snowed in Florida once or twice! ;)
There's no excuse NOT ride a bike.

I don't preach the bicycle as a universal solution. I'd probably be into hiking in Minnesota. Only Jesus preached universal solutions which is to pray and wait for Armageddon. :(
I play my music loud from a JBL2 speaker. Get a kick from rebel reggae music, Bob Marley, etc. It blocks noise pollution and gives me the power.
