“Oooohhhh, I’m bindin’ my life away, lookin’ for a better way, for me…”
-Eddie Rabbit’s lesser known ode to insurance agents which his label refused to release
Three topics make their global debuts this week. You’ll learn a ton of useful stuff from some elite insurance educators. Highlights are below - I hope you’ll give them a go.
Yours truly had the honor of joining my pals at the Insurance Journal Academy for some humorous banter on random stuff like self-driving cars, unique lawncare services, golf, theater and who knows what else. If you’re looking for a few laughs give us a try: https://www.insurancejournal.tv/videos/23204/.

THE “F5” (FASCINATING FACTOID FOR FANATICAL FLORIDIANS) –
Imagine it’s early 1899. You just packed up your family and moved south to escape harsh winters. You finally arrive in Tallahassee in February of 1899, relieved to have made it to Florida just in time to…
…get absolutely BLASTED by an Artic blizzard. Womp, womp.
On February 13th, 1899, the temperate in Tallahassee dropped to two degrees below zero - the coldest temperature ever recorded in the sunshine state. As a reminder of how good we have it here, check out this cool map from weather.com and the NOAA showing the historic lows in all 50 states.
(This factoid originally appeared in the 1/24/22 edition but with the recent cold snaps in our state it seemed timely.)
