Yes, let’s drive to the Sunshine State, best known for kidnapped Cuban boys and electoral meltdowns, empty condominiums and old Jewish people. We took the 95 from Baltimore on down, and instead of staying overnight in beautiful, historic Savannah, Ga., we picked a Super 8 hotel off the highway in South Carolina where the management threatened to call the police on me for being brown with camera. Next time, next time...
