Alligators do tend to feature heavily in these, which is understandable.

Several options for 26 February, but I'd go for "Florida man breaks beer bottle over his head, gets shot by deputy who thought sound was gunshot".

Comparatively restrained by the standards of peak Florida Man, I'd say

Is this just a sneaky way to get a lot of presents on 27 April?

I love that in Japan the Sakura forecast is as important as the weather https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2023/02/14/national/cherry-blossom-forecast-2023/

“Naked Florida man with machete tried to rob man of clothes in Volusia, deputies say” And I do love a lapwing.

My favourite Florida man challenge result keeps it real: man tries to buy house, buys strip of land instead. Life, huh. On the cherry blossom, I was reading on the other place that Winterbrook Road in Dulwich/Herne Hill has the most amazing display of Yoshino Cherries helped into place by the Japanese Embassy apparently but naturally I read this only after cycling down parallel Stradella Road yesterday...might be worth a visit if it ever stops raining.

Yes the Yoshinos are an annual visit for me – saw the other day that this, right now, is their time. Looks like Thursday won't be *completely* rainy...

Dammit I only just got round to reading this edition of 6 Things and March 24th IS my birthday, I’d have been well chuffed.

Anyway, still quietly amused by “Florida man ticketed after eating pancakes in the middle of an intersection”...

April 3, it’s “Florida man charged with stabbing, killing ex-girlfriend with a sword” and “Florida man hangs giant roll of toilet paper in front yard. Pick your poison. Also, love the cherry blossom graph!
