Dumbest Florida Man Story EVER

These Florida man stories are really starting to give us true Florida men a bad name!! Anyways, this big dummy stole a jet ski and then admitted to the cops he didn’t know how to swim after he was caught. How you going to steal a watercraft and not know how to swim!!!

The officers on the scene had to borrow a boat to catch the guy and when officers demanded he swim over to them, he said he couldn't swim. He was arrested and charged with trespassing and grand theft.

Guess which Florida park makes the top 5 on list for top places to stargaze in the U.S.!

The best part about getting away from a city is the lack of light pollution which allows us to see amazing views of the night sky. The nonprofit International Dark Sky Association (IDA) recognizes places around the world where the night sky is preserved. These national parks are IDA certified and one may be closer to home than you think!

With almost no light pollution, the Natural Bridges National Monument is the top spot to plan a stargazing trip. Camp out on your own or take advantage of one of the park’s ranger-led stargazing programs to get the full experience.

Located on the boarder of western Texas, Big Bend National Park is the largest protected area of the Chihuahuan Desert in the United States. Because the park is so remote, it's a perfect location to getaway from large crowds and the with the darkest skies in the U.S., you'll be sure to see some spectacular views!

If you're looking for a more informative trip or want to immerse in Native American culture, the Chaco Culture National Historical Park supports the Chaco's Night Sky Initiative, which combines the astronomy practices of the Chacoan people with modern approaches.

Located in the Susquehannock State Forest. Cherry Springs park is open year-round and usually has between 60 and 85 nights when stargazing conditions are ideal. Consider staying a night at Astronomy Field, which offers unobstructed 360º views.

Right in the heart of South Florida, Big Cypress National Preserve is the home of the Florida panther, black bear, and a wide variety of wildlife. Staying in the heart of the reserve will surround yourself with black skies and increases your chances of getting a glimpse of the Milky Way.

To me, death has never been taboo. It’s something a lot of us think about but never speak on. Death is a topic some people prefer not to discuss, but we cannot escape it. Nobody has ever managed to escape it.

People die every single day, which isn’t a fun thing to talk about. That’s why we have to live every day as if it were our last. Oh, and we have heard all the jokes about how Florida is "God's Waiting Room", too. According to the CDC, the average age of death in Florida is 79 years old as of 2019.

It may not be pleasant, but it is a part of life. I think you will enjoy this list if you are a morbid person, just like me. All 2020 data are final. 2020 birth data come from the National Vital Statistics System (NVSS) via CDC WONDER; 2020 death data, including leading causes of death, firearm mortality, homicide, drug overdose mortality, and infant mortality, come from the NVSS via CDC WONDER and rankings and rates are based on 2020 age-adjusted death rates. The following is a list of Florida's leading causes of death.
