FL Stands Ready to Overtake NY as Number 3

This is not a sports update. Florida stands ready to overtake New York as number 3 in population, that is, behind number 1, California and number 2, Texas. As Florida’s population continues to grow and New York’s declines, Florida is in line to soon become number 3 in the population game and this may mean some changes in the political lines as they can soon be drawn in the Florida sand. Right now both New York and Florida have 27 seats each in the House of Representatives but that could change. Demographers have seen this change coming for quite some time, so it doesn't come as a big surprise to them. Having resided in the north and now the south it doesn't surprise me either because the weather alone is reason enough for one whose blood has become thin, as they say down here, to seek out the sunshine state’s wonderful warmth (I smile to myself as I type this blog in my flannel jammies and fuzzy socks). Get ready Florida because your secret is out!
