A banana tree was planted in a pothole in the middle of a Florida road in an apparent act of protest to draw attention to the condition of the pavement....
Lament the murder, not the murdered.

Yeah, the funnier part of that story is that the guy had been yelling about the city not doing anything, but it turns out it wasn't a city-maintained street, but a private street. Meaning he and his neighbors were actually responsible.

:confusion-scratchheadblue: Neither the article nor the video mentions anyone complaining about govt, and private ownership doesn't necessarily mean communal ownership.

Yeah, I was a big off on detail, misled by the MSM. Here's a local rendition:
... Bryan Raymond, the owner of Progress and Pride Fitness Group, a business on Honda admitted on Friday that he was the one who planted it. He’s grown frustrated with repeatedly having to fill in the holes in the street with cement, so this time he went for something different....
“If we have to maintain it and make sure nobody gets hurt, we are going to put something obvious there to make sure nobody gets in the hole,” Raymond said.
Since the county says the maintenance of this road falls on the business owners here, a banana tree was his answer.
Why isn't the cement working? Is he surrendering? It can't be a protest if there's communal ownership of the road by the business owners that he's one of.
Lament the murder, not the murdered.

Mostly finished with converting all remaining old photos to digital. Here's one from around 80-someting-ish of the 50 Chevy I built (not single-handedly, of course), along with my "real" car at the time, a BMW 3.0 is.
Sweet. My State Farm calendar this month has a 1947 Packard Super Clipper coupe. It looks like anything that happens in front of the hood is like some war in an obscure country no one's ever heard of....nothing to be concerned about. Here's one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0wVmPQZTg0
Kinda strange that so many people try to blame a Tesla for something. Maybe it just seems that way because these scammers get away with it more often with other cars.
It really takes a moron to fake a hit and run in a gas station with cameras, but this idiot picked a car with 8 cameras and 360° coverage.
Trump: “We had the safest border in the history of our country - or at least recorded history. I guess maybe a thousand years ago it was even better.”
... The unidentified man, believed to be an Iraqi citizen residing in Norway, was clocked doing 147 mph on a stretch of highway with a speed limit of 81 mph, a northern Danish newspaper reported Friday. Apparently, that naturally aspirated V-10 proved to be a little too tempting.
According to the Nordjyske newspaper, the man had bought the Raging Bull just hours earlier in Germany for $310,000 (2 million kroner) and was on his way home to Norway. Unfortunately, he chose to put the pedal to the metal in the wrong country.
Under a new Danish law, enacted on March 31, police can confiscate the vehicles of “reckless” drivers and sell them at auction. The legislation applies to all roadworthy vehicles, whether it be cars, vans or trucks, and is applied whether the driver owns the vehicle or not.

Unfortunately, that’s no excuse for reckless driving.

Sounds like it's the robot cars that are confused...
In a tiny neighborhood in San Francisco's Richmond District, self-driving Waymo cars have been converging at all hours of the day and night, mystifying neighbors, KPIX reported earlier this week. Most would drive to the dead-end on 15th Avenue, where they then had no choice but to turn around and leave, according to the outlet — and neighbors have no idea why.
"I noticed it while I was sleeping. I awoke to a strange hum that I thought there was a spacecraft outside my window," Jennifer King, a resident of the neighborhood, told the outlet.
She added later, "There's some days it can be up to 50 [cars], literally every five minutes, and we're all working from home, so this is what we hear."
The random influx of cars has been puzzling for residents. The cars aren't carting passengers to and fro, according to a Verge report. And when locals have asked the drivers why they're in the neighborhood, they reply that the cars are "programmed" and they're just "doing their job," KPIX reported.
