I have my own Florida Man story!

Florida Man came for a visit. Actually walked to the back corner of our property, and in the dark, squatted to listen as my husband and I enjoyed some after dinner conversation on the porch. Arrived just in time to hear the honey do list.

There must have been something in the bushes that startled him because the flashlight confirmed he was still there. Have to hand it to the guy for his perseverance.

Is that not slightly concerning? Might be time to release the hounds or something...

Very sobering thought.

I have reached the conclusion that the way to end the idiocy around here is to give this kind of behavior as much of an audience as possible. I have no idea what drives them, but at some point they will either learn to develop shame, or at least, have a fear of getting caught.

Nobody can believe just off the rails things are down here. In the defense of Florida, however, most people are transplants. So you're dealing with the worst of the worst sometimes.

Can't say that I will strive to be entertaining when I begin to write my community's story. That's because I'm writing from the POV of a minority, and I think the ka-huks underplay the seriousness of the matter.

Florida Man sounds awesome! I've got to start reading this comic book, is it DC or Marvel?
