That's quite the whiskey nose Florida Man is sporting in that photo. I'd be surprised if this is the first time he ever proffered the "I only drank at red lights" argument.

“I’m tempting fate just talking about it,” warned an anxious Peterson, 48, at his suburban home. “It’s almost dinner time and I haven’t felt compelled to do anything inexplicably insane. Last week alone I somehow managed to set myself on fire at a daycare, accidentally eat bath salts and bite a cop, and wander into an alligator enclosure where I had to punch my way to freedom. But today? Today I just went to work, got groceries, and mowed the lawn. I’m terrified. Something big has to be coming my way.”

Today, Florida Man is Dale Massad, the duly elected mayor of Port Richey. Mr. Massad was a doctor, but lost his license to practice medicine in 1992. A license being nothing but a piece of paper and all, Massad continued to treat patients at his house, sometimes with less-than-stellar results.
When sheriff's deputies arrived at his house to execute a search warrant, Massad opened fire. Fortunately, he's every bit as good a gunslinger as he is a doctor, so no one got hit.
Congratulations to Dale Massad for graduating from practicing medicine without a license to attempted murder in just a couple of seconds.

The best part? He's the Mayor.

And, back in my home town, there is there is this: Florida Sex trafficking "Sex Spas
"MARTIN COUNTY — Large parts of the investigation into what officials say are illicit spas and paid-sex operations represent new territory for law enforcement officials, who say lots of money is involved. "
I always wondered what a "Day Spa" was.

When I was a kid, we moved to North Carolina into this really weird, really cool house. It'd been split up into residences, so my sister and I both had private bed and bath suites downstairs, with a den and a sort of half-kitchen, and our own separate entrance we could lock from our side. It was pretty nice. I was like ten when we moved there and I started adding "Apt. 1" to my address whenever I gave it because I was a cool grownup with my own apartment, you know.
I looked it up a few years ago, and it was listed as a "day spa," so I too have wondered what that was. (Weird thing: It is no longer listed as a day spa, but it also shows up as being less than half the size it actually is. So obviously, there's a human trafficking ring operating out of the undocumented half, just like Comet Ping Pong.)
"MARTIN COUNTY — Large parts of the investigation into what officials say are illicit spas and paid-sex operations represent new territory for law enforcement officials, who say lots of money is involved. "
Meaning, lots of money to be made "enforcing" the law?
That's how I read it initially ... and it is the American way, is it not?

I want to know how an unattended isolation cell qualifies as part of "an infirmary". Or was she later removed from the infirmary, and if so, when and why?
Gotta be careful about "forc[ing]" Holocaust education on public school students, cuz not everyone believes, ya see.
