Life here really is a gas...

$20 worth if you have a car, $40 if you have an SUV or a van.

To sum up, a trio of Tampa residents pumped close to $6500 worth of gas from Hess gas stations, and then sold it to hundreds of people in the Bay Area at the above rates. Undercover officers drilled them, as it were, and now they're facing charges.

Though I must commend them for using Hess- economical, and doesn't get oil from the Middle East.

Well done men, and HOORAY FLORIDA!

The sunshine state...and its dark side.

This project was the original brainchild of several people.

In looking at the news, and offbeat news in particular, it occurred to a few of my friends and myself that an inordinate number came from Florida. Having lived here for 16 years, but also having lived elsewhere, I can't help but identify many of these things as ridiculous :)

Thus, I bring you... Hooray Florida! This blog will feature commentary from myself and friends on news stories that originate from the great state of Florida. Because while we are the Sunshine State, let's face it. Ridiculous exists everywhere.

Enjoy!
