Tampa Bay deal of the day: Tall mower

Let’s see:

Built while “bored” (I’m reading “bored” as “drunk, possibly high”) one night, and it plainly shows? Check!
Ridiculously high up with correspondingly ridiculously high center of gravity? Check!
“All it needs is a shift cable, a steering, and a piece of pipe with a pole on it to make it go?” Check!

If you have $300 and no sense of self-preservation, your new hobby ride awaits in Dade City! Here’s the Facebook Marketplace link for this “tall mower.”

Headline of the day

Wfla.com headline with picture of steak on grill: “St. Pete Steakhouse to be Transformed Into Funeral Home.”

It would be even more funny and frightening is the transformation was going the other way.

(By the way, here’s the article.)

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).

Oh, my sweet summer child, do you not know about the “Loofah Code” in The Villages?

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.
