when tennessee white trash comes to florida

whbeebe

This lovely vehicle started out as a Chevy Tahoe before it was royally made a mess of. The license tag is Tennessee 2VO-OK2. They were parked in a handicap slot, with their fat behind stuck out in the lane. The driver’s moronic park job is probably typical for that part of Tennessee he or she comes from. Somebody was sitting in the vehicle with the motor running, and in the second photo they managed to pull in out of the lane. I watched as a passenger came running (yes, running) out of the local Publix where this happened and climbed up into the passenger side.

I don’t mind visitors, but if you’re going to visit my state, the least you can do is act like you’ve got manners. But white trash doesn’t know manners.

These were taken with an iPhone 11 Pro Max. If you’re wondering about the garishness of the photos, I had to run then through Snapseed’s HDR function in order to open up the shadows and pull detail out of the highlights. I was in no mode to do this more subtly.

pandemic week 19 — it’s only gotten worse

I don’t even know where to begin. The last time I wrote an entry on the Pandemic, it was on 11 June, and we had half as many confirmed cases. Even the number of world-wide cases has more than doubled, from 7million to over 15 million.

For the first time I’m including a dashboard just for Florida. This is being maintained by the Rebekah Jones, who was fired by the Florida in May because she refused to massage the statistics and make it look better than it really was.

Here’s her story: https://www.npr.org/2020/06/14/876584284/fired-florida-data-scientist-launches-a-coronavirus-dashboard-of-her-own

So much has been going crazy in this country over the last six weeks. Even Trump has finally given up holding the Republican convention in Jacksonville because it’s a grand coronavirus clusterfuck here in Florida. Yeah, look at those charts above, and see that Florida has 1/10 of the US’ total confirmed cases.

And by the way, keep this in mind: We could be off by as much as an order of magnitude, or to put it another way, we could have ten times as many coronovirus cases as officially documented.

It’s time to vote out Trump and DeSantis. It’s time to vote all the bastards out.
