Florida cabbage?

I know this isn't a cabbage, but it looked rather like one and was soaking up morning sun and of course I had to take a picture! Please click to embiggen to get the full effect.

Mary Kay pink Caddie

It is my understanding that Mary Kay salespeople who earn a certain amount of money for the company are given brand-new Cadillacs (always pink) as a bonus. This is a very large Cadillac SUV, but also a hybrid.

Amscot - The Money Superstore

Beware...of money superstores!

The chase is on!

Have you ever been chased by a guy on a bike brandishing what looks like a big, long weapon? Just for taking his picture?

Well, I haven't either. But I wasn't too sure for a few moments!

The Hummer

The Hummer is an enigma. It appears to be a military vehicle with all of the charm of an Army jeep. In recent years its popularity seems to have declined.

The front "license" plate contains a pirate graphic which is similar in looks and color to the flag of Florida State University. But I'm not sure it has any connection to FSU.

Ocala, however, is Gator (University of Florida) territory. If the owner of the Hummer is indeed a graduate of Florida State, he or she should know it is a risky venture at best to invade the Gator-loving city of Ocala! ;-)
