As I here at my computer watching the slow susurration of the red and blow light bleeding through the blinds from the multiple Sheriff hand cuffing one of my neighbors, I think to myself "this place has gotten to the point where they are no longer trying." Back in the roaring 20's criminals had the class to at least dress up not only their dens of depravity, but themselves as well. People took a little pride in their craft. I drive by this little place frequently and it occurs to me that things have gone so far south that these licentious individuals wont spare more than two words to deceive the current governing body. I don't know if it's a sign of the times are simply Florida, but then seems out and out bizarre. Now it is a well established fact that my neighborhood is caulked full of woman who choose to earn their living in a less than righteous manner. However, even with a severe lack of scruples, when they see a cop they either fade into the surrounding houses. What they don't do is open a "Smoke Shop" on a busy corner in a major city.

On a side note, I listen to a variety of podcasts and radio shows from around the country, and it has come to my attention that by my current count 2/3rds of all stories involving someone dying, getting arrested, or maiming themselves or another come out of Florida. Come on guys, this sucks.
