Commentary, sarcasm and snide remarks from a Florida resident of over thirty years. Being a glutton for punishment is a requirement for residency here. Who am I? I've been called a moonbat by Michelle Malkin, a Right Wing Nut by Daily Kos, and middle of the road by Florida blog State of Sunshine. Tell me what you think.

Florida the rules are different here Chapter CXLV

In Florida there are many types of accidents involving either trains or cars. Here's a new one, a Amtrak train-forklift collision. Never heard of that one before. Don't you just love the Sunshine State?

Note- My condolences to the family of the forklift operator.
