    I don’t think we wrested Florida from the jaws of the deep. I think the deep left it on our doorstep and ditched. We’re stuck with it unless we can pawn it off on the moon or something.

      We didn’t wrest it from the deep, but we did wrest it from the soggy and highly permeable. It was a low lying swamp when we found it, and that makes it particularly vulnerable to rising sea levels.
