Things you'll hear and see in Florida, but not in Canada.

There are some very prominent differences I have noticed in my first couple of weeks down here that have left me pondering " I don't think I'm in Kansas anymore toto!". Like the other day I was driving up the road, comming back from taking my sister to work. I was cruising along at about 40miles in a 35m/h zone when all of a sudden these two cops jump out into the middle of the road in front of the car baside me, with a speed gun in hand forcing the pour fellow to slam on his brakes to avoid hitting them. They got him to pull into a parking lot so they could give him a speeding ticket. Thankfully they didn't seem to notice me flying past them. Thing's like that tend to make you wonder, If a police man enforces rules like speed limits does that exempt him from other rules like no j-walking. Apparently. And another thing, the other day some cops down in Miami shot a guy dead, just because he stole a car and ran into a 7 Eleven... the man wasn't armed, there wasn't even a back exit to the store and THEY HAD TAZERS!! I mean does a guy deserve to be killed just because for some reason or another he stole a car... I don't think so. They're all wound up so tight down here that even if they stop you for speeding they're yelling at you like you robbed a bank.
You also hear about some funny things too. Like the traffic reports, up in Canada you hear about maybe a fender bender on main street or to avoid this road because of slow moving traffic. Down here they don't even really report about slow traffic, because at 5:00 pm it is a given that the traffic will be crawling. No no, the reports here are like...
"Please avoid Flamingo avenue north bound lane, because there is a car on fire."
or
"the police have shut off west 63rd street because of a domestic dispute in the area"
or (my personal favorite)
"Please be careful while driving along the south bound 441, because THERE IS A PEDESTRIAN WALKING ALONG THE SIDE OF THE ROAD!!".
I mean, COME ON!!! With all the things happening down here they feel compelled to report about every hitch-hiker there is the whole length of the highway. Bunch of goofs! I mean if someone wants to risk their life by taking a stroll along a highway where cars are flying past their shirtsleaves at 200 miles an hour than they should be able to do that without it being broadcast over the radio, right?
Anyway... I guess there are alot of things for me to get used to down here, but until I am, every day will be an adventure that's for sure!!
