Silly People In St. Pete

Lorie and Ryan Davenport set up a large blue tent outside a Best Buy store in St. Petersburg on Wednesday. They plan to camp out for more than a week hoping to be first in line. Store managers gave their blessing.

Mr. And Mrs. Davenport there is this thing Al Gore invented years ago called the Internet.
You can buy all kinds of stuff, in most cases cheaper, and they bring to your door.

Why Was Mike Williams Arrested?

Have A Beer, Go To Jail!

His Blood Alcohol level was under the legal limit of .08. There is a great difference between a person who is drunk, and a person who drinks. It seems that it is not enough to arrest drunk drivers, it is now the goal of Police to arrest anyone who drives with so much as a drink.

I am curious to see what the Bucs and NFL dictator Roger Goodell will do. Mr. Williams should sue the hell out of the agency involved.

Salsa De Ybor!

Ybor City is a jewel set in the crown of the Tampa Bay community. As a Latin ethnic neighborhood, it features a square block owned by Cuba. No kidding – a gift to Jose Marti and the Cuban people.
