But, as objectionable as I find my next pronouncement to be, would they
have been so rushed to get out of Dodge if they hadn't just paid the
exorbitant FL taxes? Meeting the kids in Georgetown was easily within
their capabilities, and the date or place could easily have been
changed, but getting out of Florida by a date certain was their first
order of business at the time.

Sad to say, but what FL demanded of them was far less than they will
have to pay for trying to avoid FL's taxes.

Would I try the same? You Betcha! They didn't owe FL anything as they
never intended to be in FL any longer than absolutely necessary. Their
dream boat just happened to be stowed there.

I've been thinking along the same lines, but a bit further: I'm afraid that
now, since they never left Florida and are stuck there indefinitely, those
taxes they wanted so much to avoid will be due anyway. Talk about adding
insult to injury.

As long as they are in a yard, I think the time stops.
