The dialog: I don’t really know the origins of this.

Many have speculated that there must be something in the water down in Florida. If there is, it sappears Florida law prevents taking any action about it.

In other words, Florida is apparently the home of the dirt pour.

A snippet from the story:

For the second time this year, a Florida appellate court has ruled against environmentalists fighting to enact a widely supported local clean water measure.

The Fifth District Court of Appeal ruled Thursday that although 83% of voters in Titusville approved a 2022 initiative establishing the right to clean water, the city in Brevard County couldn’t enact it because of a 2020 state law preventing local government from giving rights to bodies of water, plants, and animals.

Another oxymoronic “responsible gun owner.” Another child.

When officers arrived on the scene, they saw a 7-year-old child lying on the couch in the living room with what appeared to be a gunshot wound to her upper left thigh.

The complainant, the child’s mother, told officers that she, the victim and two others were laying in a bedroom watching television.

She said she didn’t know how her daughter gained access to the firearm because it was supposed to be secured underneath the mattress.

Methinks “mattress” and “gun safe” are not synonyms.

So many guns. So much stupid.
