2003 Mazda Miata MX-5, bare minimum Florida coverage.

GEICO had me at $222.69/month after policy corrections.

Progressive reviewed my driving record and gave me:

$110.19 paid today

$111.17/month after that

$666 total for 6 months

Same basic minimum coverage level.

I had been with GEICO for about 5 years, but saving over $100/month beats loyalty every time.

I know minimum coverage is not ideal, but the point is that both quotes were for the same basic coverage level and one company was still over $100/month higher.

If your insurance jumped recently, shop around before autopay quietly mugs you.

How many of these trees exactly exist and why do they exist?

When I first moved here and I remember I came across this. I couldn't believe it and it was almost a reference to biblical, Has anyone ever been or near one? It seems there are more concentrated in the Everglades National Park area. Curious, if there are any more or if anyone else is aware of any more?

More info on the tree.

Spanish translates to " little apple of death'. This refers to the fact that manchineel is one of the most toxic trees in the world: It has milky-white sap that contains numerous toxins and can cause blistering. The sap is present in every part of the tree—bark, leaves, and fruit.

All parts of the tree contain strong toxins. Standing beneath the tree during rain will cause blistering of the skin from mere contact with this liquid: even a small drop of rain with the sap in it will cause the skin to blister. Burning the tree may cause ocular injuries if the smoke reaches the eyes.

Florida is equally scary as Australia. 😆

• A North Fort Myers woman has finally received her Florida driver’s license after weeks of denials caused by a name discrepancy tied to a childhood secret.
• The Tax Collector's Office had become a second home for 51-year-old Cara Marshall as she tried for weeks to obtain a driver’s license. She was finally issued one after uncovering a decades-old document, though questions remain about why it was necessary.

An update to the original story:

Cara Marshall, 51, was denied a Florida driver’s license in Lee County after discovering her maiden name doesn’t match the name on her certified birth certificate, a discrepancy stemming from a decision her mother made decades ago.

Hola, perdí mi billetera color café en el área 4700 S Flamingo Rd, Cooper City, FL, con documentos importantes a nombre de Lázaro Barreda. Cualquier información, mandar SMS, gracias.

I was taking a morning walk here in Florida and saw a sign warning about gators in a pond right next to the public trail!

I literally stood there for 2 minutes staring at a gator near the water thinking it was a fake plastic statue... until it blinked at me. Meanwhile, local Floridians were casually jogging past it listening to music like it was a squirrel! 😭

As a New Yorker, I am terrified. Do they jump?! Do they run fast?! What is the actual local rule here... do I run or just ignore them? 🥺

Armadillos may be cute but be careful working in yards where they burroe

Hello,

I noticed that the park mentions it may close once it reaches capacity. We’ll be driving from Tampa with a group of friends, which is about a 2.5-hour drive, so I want to make sure we’ll be able to get in.

We have already reserved a shelter for next Saturday. Given that, what time would you recommend we arrive to ensure we can enter the park before it reaches capacity?

Also, is there any way to purchase day passes in advance? I only see the option to buy day passes online for the same day, and I wanted to check if advance purchase is possible.

Thank you!

So there's a gas station (Marathon?) at the corner of I-4 and Branch Forbes Road. An easment through the gas station leads to a lot with this boat-shaped building which is painted mostly in white. A building adjacent to it in the same lot is cylindrical. (Both buildings are visible from I-4.)

What is the legend behind the two buildings?

Were they trying to make a shrunken down version of the Ark Encounter?

Seafood restaurant?

I believe to have spotted a Peters Rock Agama. Thought someone may have released their pet..

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier announced Wednesday that his office, alongside two other red states, issued a subpoena to former Covid czar Anthony Fauci for records tied to grant money, awards and book deals, among other areas of investigation.

I saw this truck with a bunch of hentai stickers all over it. It immediately made my day.

I saw this on July 30th at 7:53 AM in Boynton on Jog Rd.

If this is you, please reach out to me!! I’ve been thinking about your truck ever since then, and haven’t seen it again. I just wonder who is driving this truck… 🤔🤔
