Florida's High-speed Train Pain

While here in Florahome Florida we await the construction of our new but low-tech bike trail, others in the state have a need for speed and instead of turning their rails to trails are opting to keep the rails and SMOKE THEM BAD BOYS!!! Actually, the desire for a high-speed train in Florida has been around for many years and even now with the proposed Tampa-Orlando-Miami route ready to make that dream a reality, the age old question 'how-ya gonna pay for it?' is still being asked. As it turns out, the upcoming election may play a role in whether those folks to the south are rocketing down the rails in 2015, or still swiping their cards at another Florida gas station. As for us, all we'll need here in Florahome is a little more Icy-Hot.
