Life on Florida’s West Coast

Fark Says Florida Weird

…I agree. It seems like all the creepy crawlies eventually find their way down here. Maybe it‘s our year-round nice weather. I cannot think of any other good reason that all the freaks flock to Florida. We get the oddball criminals and the unwashed masses.

I moved here in 1998 to be near my family, who had moved here several years earlier. We all experienced culture shock, and not just due to the weather. Having been raised just outside the DC Beltway, I found that Florida was a state that absolutely does not reward you for wit or reason. Some might say it is our lackluster public schools and colleges. I’m not so sure that’s the issue. More than anything, it seems to be the transients and imports, not those born and educated within our state.

Enough speculation. Jump on the issue along with me and give me your comments? Why DOES Florida seem to be the home of the oddball news items?

We’re number one now? We have more weirdos than California now?

This can’t be good…
