New Englanders - don't mess with us!
So I have a neighbour who wanders around with her dog, but is always on her 'phone, with the speaker on.
As I sat outside with my dog this afternoon I could not help but hear this.
"But they are all New Englanders. When people from the mid-West move to California they become Californians"
But I am not into New Englanders. They come here for the winter, but they are always New Englanders.
I suppose that I should be grateful for the luxury of living in Florida".

Oh dear! I beg to differ.
1) They are not all New Englanders: - follow the road maps.
Here is I-75.
I-75 is the seventh longest Interstate Highway, the second longest north-south after I-95, and passes through six different states: Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio, and Michigan. The major metropolitan areas that I-75 connects to includes (from south to north) Miami, Tampa, Atlanta, Cincinnati, and Detroit.
Most of the snow-birds in western Florida use I-75 and are from the mid-west
Here is I-95.
I-95 is the main Interstate Highway on the East Coast of the United States,[running largely parallel to the Atlantic Ocean coast and U.S. Highway 1, serving areas from Florida to Maine. In general, I-95 serves the major cities of the Eastern Seaboard and metropolitan areas such as Miami, Jacksonville, Savannah, Fayetteville, and Richmond in the Southeast; and Washington, D.C., Baltimore, Wilmington, Philadelphia, New York City, New Haven, Providence, Boston, and Portland in the Mid-Atlantic up to the Northeast.
Most of the snow-birds in eastern Florida use I-95 and are from Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, and New England.
(2) As an honorary New Englander I assert that (generally speaking) people from Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut are the smartest and wisest of all Americans!
