.....I moved to Florida and love it here. However, there is an almost daily weird crime story in the news. Stuff you wouldn't even think of anywhere else. Like a few weeks ago, a guy got into a car accident. Common enough. It was this guy's fault. So what was the firstg thing he did? Took off all his clothes and ran up the street! You can't make this stuff up. Every day another crazy story. To the 49 states who keep on sending us your weirdos....keep them coming! It makes for interesting entertainment.....
