The strangest things happen in Florida. Why Florida? Is the place a magnet for the displaced, lost, and confused?
The latest was a man fell from an airplane. The pilot’s conversation with the control tower:
“I have a door ajar and a passenger that fell down. I am six miles from Tamiami,” the pilot said.
The air-traffic controller responded, “You said you have a passenger that fell out of your plane?”
“That’s correct, sir,” the pilot responded. “He opened the back door and he just fell down the plane.”

Yep. That’s Florida. The place is crawling with people with all sorts of issues. Today I nearly hit some dork who was walking in the road holding his baseball cap in front of his face trying to light a cigarette. I came to a full stop trying to figure out what he was doing and he nearly walked into my stationary vehicle. Guess he really needed a smoke.
We see this sort of dumbasity every time we leave the house. I think there really is something in the water.

I don’t know if it’s the water, I think there’s some kind of strange attractor operating in FL. Between the swamps, gators, some of the largest insects in creation, rednecks in the north and the average age approaching 3 digits in the south it is a weird place.
