Florida State Road A1A

And, of course, in Florida, the Panhandle's open until 8 p.m. Eastern, but the rest of Florida will shut down in 24 minutes.

And I know people listen to this pro on A1A, this program on Route 95 as they're driving home all over Florida, not just there.

And listening to the program from the southern tip, Key West, all the way up towards the north.

And then the panhandle is open until 8 p.m. Eastern.

And he has one, and if you've ever driven there before, you can get to Mar-a-Lago one of two ways.

And the only entrance... is if you go on A1A, which is the beach road.

Because the back of Mar-a-Lago borders the Intracoastal, which is all water.

And he had two little flotillas, like little man-made islands, set up right outside the back.

You know, down here is the same thing.

You have the main thoroughfare.

You have a you have Highway A1A, which goes from the Florida Keys up to Maine.

Right.

And it was He wasn't sure about which weekend it was, but he knew that he had a weekend pass, and his fiancée lived up in Fort Lauderdale.

So that evening when he got off from work, he got in the car and started driving up A1A.

And when he got to around Little Duck Key, just south or just, I guess, to the west of Marathon, He looked out and he said it was like a bunch of roiling lights in the sky up to the north, and he was just mesmerized.

And so he got to this bridge.

In St. Augustine, it's been like this all week during the high tides, not just around Flagler College.

Yeah, you get some nuisance flooding there, but you go across the Bridge of Lions and you take a right there off A1A and go down in those neighborhoods.

Those are the ones where you see high water street signs.

And I walked in there the other day.

Randy's house.

I'm driving down A1A in Indian Harbor Beach.

And, you know, the flashy light mid-block crosswalks where they give pedestrians the false idea that they can control traffic, actually.

And I've said it since these things came into being.

These crosswalks give pedestrians unrealistic expectations that they can actually stop traffic.

They can't, but that's what they think.

So I'm taking Taco to Randy's, and I'm traveling at prevailing speed with other traffic on A1A when these two ladies who are on the west side of A1A decide it's time to hit the flashy light button.

I am maybe a hundred feet, 150 feet from the intersection and doing, well, the speed limit is 35.

He didn't have a license.

And I just happened to look over on A1A, and I see the cop car with no lights on go by.

And I was like, fuck.

Now, I had like maybe a half ounce of powder, nothing much.
