Because.. Florida

There’re pretty idiotic folks everywhere. Some of those folks NW of Charlotte can be special. We’ve run into a few at races up there. There’s a reason why there’s a stereotype of the banjo playing weirdoes.

Like many here, I have spent a lot of time in the wilderness and don’t understand why people can’t just quietluy observe and appreciate nature without desiring to include a sentient being in a selfie. WTF.

Not crazy, like Florida, just plain stupid, but proof you don’t have to look too far from home…

Arizona is just a crazy as Florida, but as Stephen Colbert often reminds us,
“It’s a Dry Crazy”.

the best part of this article is that there is a “national secure your load day”

its good to have a day of remembrance that you should not ride a mattress in a truck bed unless that is what you are in to

I mean, it would be nice to have Secure your Load in perpetuity in this country. But it’s good to know at least one day a year is supposedly safe out there.

If only she had remembered to bring some rubber snakes to throw into the area it would have gone much better for her.

Florida Mayor Who Followed Man Home and Runs Over His Mailbox In Drunken Road Rage Incident Claims She Had One Glass of Wine, Gets Arrested After Failing Field Sobriety Test

Still… here’s a fun tidbit of the details…

“I think the mayor is drunk and she just, she just literally—oh, she just drove over our mailbox,” the caller is heard telling dispatchers on an audio recording of the call.

“The mayor?” the dispatcher asks.

“I don’t know who she is. She’s claiming to be the mayor,” he answers.

“Did she ever tell you her name or anything like that?” the dispatcher asks.

“What is your name, ma’am?” the caller asks Heitmann in the background.

“Mayor Teresa Heitmann,” Heitmann is heard responding.

“She was literally almost running into my Jeep and followed me home,” the 911 caller tells dispatchers. “And now she is standing outside talking to me face to face, appears intoxicated. She’s parked in front of the house and upset that I called you guys.”
