She's naked, there's a bottle of Jack Daniels, and a sledge hammer.
Sound like spring break in Florida alright.

Hi Folks,
A bit of a back story. Our Green Valley neighbors on the next street and Margie and I became good friends. He was the COO of Conoco Oil and Executive VP of DuPont when Conoco was purchased by DuPont. Fabulously wealthy. They owned a 8500 sq ft house in Jackson Hole Wy. We visited them quite a few times. I was always changing light bulbes in this house were the living room valuated ceiling was 2½ story high. The glass window overlooking the Grand Tetons was out of this world...So here I was scaling this extension ladder up to the huge beams at the roof level. Bill held the ladder but it was scary....Then as Bill aged he became dizzy and one time I was up there, bulb in hand to replace the burned out MR16 spotlight and he said..."I am going to collapse...gotta sit down" So here I am 2½ stories up with no support...Decision...down the ladder pdq or change the bulb. So I changed the bulb and the light worked....down the ladder and I told Bill. That is it...hire out any more bulb changes. Not worth being severely injured or killed for a flippin' light bulb...
Best,
