Facebook offers a rich tapestry of repetition - coffee themes being the most unimaginative, with cats and Wordle scores a close second. One topic, however, that never loses its luster is Florida Man. Just today, for example, a Florida Man injected a hazardous chemical into his upstairs neighbor’s home in an effort to kill him (the casus belli being a noisy Roomba device) and another chap, a pantsless 71-year-old, was arrested for having his greasy nose pressed against his neighbor’s window as she dressed for work. Florida (“America’s Throbbing Johnson”) consistently turns-in one freakishness on top of another and has for years. I’m not talking about the criminal at 1100 South Ocean Blvd in Palm Beach or their governor, a fellow with the personality of a 1965 Dodge Lancer. Nope, I talkin’ the bog standard, garden variety Sunshine State experience. The latest is an infestation of wild animals in an otherwise humdrum Orlando suburb.
