Florida Man Ran Over By His Own Truck

I love these crazy stories.

The Gainesville Sun (http://bit.ly/1rDishr) reports 48-year-old Joseph Carl had been drinking and drove into a vehicle stopped at a red light.

Don't Get Screwed...: A Humorous Guide to Overcoming the Crap That Life Throws at You! (a self-indulgent help book)

"Don't Get Screwed... who does? Great title, got my attention, but more importantly this author (who I've followed for a while now) really out did himself with this book, chock full of great humor and how-to advice that really works."

Kindle Free Pick of the Week - Geezer Paradise

South Florida may be the promised land for laid-back retirees, but there's nothing laid back about Barney McGee's retirement. A notorious developer has set his sights on Barney's mobile home park--he wants to level it and build high-rise condos. Then the park's resident lawyer who is fighting the sale, is murdered. And who is the mysterious Night Stalker, that is planting bombs under Barney's house? Could it be the work of the developer? Barney and his neighbor, Willey, and their pet monkey, Oscar (it's a long story) set off on a Quixotic mission to stop the developer any way they can . . . short of murder!

Be prepared to be entertained.
