[history]
Chalk it up as another strange year in Florida.
There was the defendant who mooned a jury and the bank robber who used an Easter egg defense when he was caught red-handed. There were nude park rangers and a sex-crazed emu -- thankfully not in the same place at the same time.

Those stories are all well and good, but I fear they will all pale in 2004. Remember, Florida will again be forced to undergo another nationally scrutinized election. Makes all those stories rather sane.

You're right. They'd better start "voting lessons" right now and get the ads on T.V. showing people how to use the new voting machines. Otherwise there will be 100's of votes for Buchanan again.

A Port Charlotte woman hit an alligator in her Honda Accord and tried to save it. But she crashed her car when the 6-foot reptile began to thrash around in the back seat. She was charged with possession of an alligator, a felony in Florida.
This only makes the Port Charlotte Police look like idiots, jerks also.

It is always amazing how many stories originate out of sunny warm Florida during the months of December and January. Could reporters be alergic to snow?

Any excuse to escape the cold........> I think there might be an exciting story on what type of fertilizer they use on lawns in Florida.........
