Florida attracts seniors looking for a comfortable retirement, tourists and vacationers looking for fun and ne'er do wells looking for whatever they can get their hands on. It's also a biker haven and the winter destination of east coast hobos.

East coast hobo's.

Here I thought they wintered in Portland

"Why is so much of this stuff always Florida??"

Some places seem to be a magnet for crazies.

The group of four returned to the woman's home around 4 a.m. after stopping at a liquor store for a bottle of whiskey.

I am thinking there was more involved than just a bottle of whiskey.......

Florida is full of former New Yorkers.

Anyone want to bet against the correlation?

Having spent time both places, I will not take that bet.

Donut Operator has a set of videos with titles that start with "Florida Man...". They are well worth checking out.

A radio station in the PNW used to have a segment called "Florida or Germany" where they would read an absolutely bizarre story from the news and the object was to guess where it happened. As they told the story I'd build up a mental picture of how must have gone down. After they revealed the location that picture might change instantly. Different brands of lunatics I suppose.
