I’m amazed that this article said, “She lost control of the car.” Most news reports ascribe all the agency to the vehicle.

To traverse the shrubbery, perhaps a curb, fence and lawn furniture, she would have had to be traveling at a significant rate of speed.

At least she hit the shallow end.

Mrs. Dangerfield: Honey, there’s water in the carburetor.

Rodney: Where’s the car?

Mrs. Dangerfield: In the pool.

No mention of age. Lived around there for a while. There are just too many people driving that shouldn't be. That's why the Villages and retiree communities like it are so popular. You can get around and shop for all your needs in a golf cart.

FLAME-ON!!!

On this slow news day, I’m just glad that Florida did not disappoint.

Great, I was just worried about a gator getting in our pool. Now I have to be concerned about a Buick, too.
