Florida Florida of the Day

Meanwhile, in Florida…

Tropical Storm Helene is now Hurricane Helene, and its closest approach to Tampa Bay happens tomorrow, which means the grocery stores today look somewhat like this (perhaps with fewer mangled AI faces).

Is Dunedin exploitable in half a day?

Someone on Reddit posted this question to r/tampa:

Is Dunedin exploitable in half a day?

I’ll be passing through Dunedin while visiting family tomorrow and will have about 2-3 hours to stop. Would this be enough time to walk through the main areas and explore?

In answer to that person’s question:

  • If you meant “explore” and this is an autocorrect mistake, just stick to the downtown area, which is full of quaint little shops and restaurants. Two to three hours should be enough. If you like beer, make sure you hit the Dunedin Brewery.
  • If you really meant “exploit,” you might want to give yourself a little more time. The median age of Dunedin residents is 57.7, which means that if you want to properly exploit the area, try some kind of senior scam.

Florida of the Day It Happened to Me

Sometimes, bumper stickers are warning labels

I saw this car going westward on Waters, just west of 275. I saw some small bumper stickers while we were stopped at the red light and inched closer to get a better look.

Smiths sticker? Okay, maybe they have mopey tendencies.

Unabomber sticker? Okay, I’m putting an additional car length between you and me.

Severed head of Yukio Mishima sticker? Okay — I’m putting at least eight car lengths between you and me next chance I get.

This Florida Man clearly knows how to travel

Tweet by @AndrewArruda: “We’re stuck in 2022 while this man is living in 2075” — photo shows a man sleeping on an electric inflatable air mattress he brought to a Delta air lines departure lounge in Orlando International Airport.

I have just one question: He brought the inflatable mattress and fluffy slippers — why no blanket? That’s very clearly the Orlando airport, which is overly air conditioned.

Also: Kudos to the Orlando airport’s social media team for this response:

Tweet from @jencerasa: “@MCO come get your boo” and reply from @MCO: “Shhh — he’s taking a nice nap.”
