Day 2: Orange and Blue

The University of Florida's colors are blue and orange - great, got it. That's fine - nice team colors.

BUT - is it really necessary for EVERYTHING in this town to be blue and orange? Forget the usual shirts, hats, etc...with team colors. People here paint their mailboxes, houses, cars, etc...blue and orange. Our recycling bins are blue and orange! Signs for stores are blue and orange. Drew made a birdhouse at camp - guess what colors he had to paint it? Yup - blue and orange, which he informed us are Gator colors! Noooooo...my son will not be turned into a Gator!!!

I'm all for school spirit. Hey, I wore red to the Univ. of Hartford basketball games I went to last year (Go Hawks!). But does everything really need to be blue and orange?
