Florida, My Florida

Lest my temporary adoptive state should feel left out (having no seven-legged transgendered deer of which to boast), i feel i ought to help publicize some of the richness peculiar to its own local culture. And i do mean peculiar.

My current favorite, last month, featured the police vs. the twelve-foot alligator in a tug-of-war battle for the naked guy high on crack who had decided in the course of his nocturnal wanderings that skinnydipping in a retention pond would be a fine way to finish off his evening.

Oh, there's so much more. But you don't have to take my word for it.

I only wish i could make this stuff up. Believe me.
