“Before Florida grew into the tourist destination it is today, it was originally a subtropical, mosquito-infested backwater peninsula where “civilized” people went to cosplay river explorer on the many ferryboat tours sailing the waters of Flah-rid-uh – including the Ocklawaha River. Locals are more apt to pronounce Florida as Floorda, cutting out the middle syllable completely.”
― RoderickE, Ocklawaha

Sol Luckman
“The fireworks went on for nearly half an hour, great pulsing strobes, fiery dandelions and starbursts of light brightening both sky and water. It was hard to tell which was reality and which was reflection, as if there were two displays, above and below, going on simultaneously—one in space-time, mused Max, and the other in time-space.”
― Sol Luckman, Snooze: A Story of Awakening
