Escape

Florida is great in the winter months. If has rarely been cold, and most days are sunny. Perfect weather for living close to the elements. But there's the spring and summer coming and living in a car means getting slowly toasted by the heat, of which I am not looking forward to.
Sarasota has alot if jobs, but that's because no one who makes minimum wage can afford to live here. Least of all, me. The rent is so incredibly high, even the roach motel apartments start at 750.
And honestly, if youre making close to min wage, you may as well live somewhere else where you don't have to worry about gas and the commute.
Panama city, is an option because it's a tourist town. Pay is better and everyone is hiring from March til August. Since I'm living in the car anyway, I'm thinking it an option.
The other option is of course Asheville. I did a route check and its 2 tanks of gas. Forty bucks. 
My goal is to find a good place to settle down and be a painter. Asheville does appeal to many senses, there's a calm serenity to the place that matches what I want in life. But, I'm not sure I'm ready for that yet. There's a part of me that still craves the humidity, the hot squalor of living dangerously and to live and paint that. Therefore, Panama city.
