An 82-year-old man spent Tuesday night in jail after deputies say he grabbed his 81-year-old neighbor's neck during an argument over the fact that his doorbell rang whenever hers did............Deputies arrested Mariasis on a charge of battery against a person over 65 years old.

Another only in Florida.

Popular designer drug behind bizarre crimes in Florida

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) - One man ran naked through a Florida neighborhood, tried to have sex with a tree and told police he was the mythical god Thor. Another ran nude down a busy city street in broad daylight, convinced a pack of German shepherds was pursuing him.

Two others tried separately to break into the Fort Lauderdale Police Department. They said they thought people were chasing them; one wound up impaled on a fence.

The common element to these and other bizarre incidents in Florida in the last few months is flakka, an increasingly popular synthetic designer drug. Also known as gravel and readily available for $5 or less a vial, it's a growing problem for police after bursting on the scene in 2013.

It is the latest in a series of synthetic drugs that include Molly, Ecstasy and bath salts, but officials say flakka is even easier to obtain in small quantities through the mail. Flakka's active ingredient is a chemical compound called alpha-PVP, which is on the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration's list of the controlled substances most likely to be abused. It is usually made overseas in countries such as China and Pakistan.

Strike an imaginary line across Fladah from about Daytona Beach through Ocala to Cedar Keys, and almost all of this weird crap will occur south of this line.

But we love our Nu Yawkers here.

So much fun to try to get through the slow moving headless-driver cars;
they have to look through the steering wheel to see what is ahead.

AND, they can be viciously obnoxious driving a basket in a grocery store.

Wonnerful! Wonnerful! Wonnerful!

Now beginning the good time of the year when most of them are gone until
the fall.

Well, what else was I supposed to do with an untimely woody?
