It's crazy how cheap Houston is... not that I miss it, but it would be nice to buy a brand new 3 bedroom home for less than 100k. ;)

If you move from Tampa FL to Houston TX...

Groceries will cost: 11.457% less
Housing will cost: 22.068% less
Utilities will cost: 11.68% more
Transportation will cost: 5.762% less
Healthcare will cost: 1.6% more

Go ahead kiwi, put in Utah to Florida, we all know you want to move here. :D

APB - Tampa Bay, FL - Anthrax Scare at Raymond James Stadium


In what was at first believed to be a hoax perpetrated by disgruntled fans, Raymond James Stadium was evacuated today for nearly two hours when one of the players, on the way to the locker room, happened to look down and notice a suspicious-looking white powdery substance on the field.

Head coach Jon Gruden immediately suspended practice while the FBI was called in to investigate.

After complete field analysis, the FBI determined that the white substance unknown to players was the goal line. Practice was resumed when FBI Special Agents decided that the team would not be likely to encounter the substance again.
