Tipping musicians doesn't seem to be too well practiced by the retired folks here in Florida...and is a definite no-no at the fancy, member only, private clubs. The only tips I have seen lately have been from the still working patrons at public clubs.

As for living in the South, if you, like AJ, enjoy looking at snow on tree branches - you are out of luck. But, if you want cold, you can turn down the A/C when indoors.

Outdoors is a different story. If it gets below 40 degrees, our governor calls FEMA.
