I took this in Florida). It was in front of a neighborhood house on Thursday.

4. ridiculous, but true. I was tempted to alert the police as I was concerned
about kids walking home from school. It was like that most of the day while, I assume, they were at work.

2. omg
this is actually my favorite kind of photo, but I just rarely see gems like this. I wonder who wrote Mr. Ed on the side of the thing. A jack PLUS a boulder holding it up? Or is it a rock, or what? In Florida? Why? This is just crazy. I am just a sucker for crazy :wtf: photos documenting God knows what, and this is just a fine example of that. You can't PLAN to take a photo like this. It just happens.

Thanks so much.

3. I was just shocked to drive by this the other day
these neighbors are truly Florida "rednecks". (I say that not derogatorily - just to describe how they enjoy their days.)

The kids that live there left it like that in front of their house while they went to work. It was gone that evening - I guess the brake work was done and the mud bog was adequately deep.
