A 'good' Frlorida Man story? Well, that's different...

 
You really hardly ever see a good headline that includes the phrase 'Florida Man'. It's always a running joke about the stupid shit guys here in the Sunshine State do, but this time is much different, with a much better outcome. A passerby jumped into a frigid Florida pond to save a pregnant woman from her sinking car recently – giving her the opportunity to safely birth her baby hours later.

Sheldy Apollon of Florida’s Port St Lucie community was 34 weeks pregnant, with pre-eclampsia, and driving to a prenatal massage arranged for her by her fiance on the morning of 6 February when she began feeling dizzy. Apollon, who was also celebrating her birthday that day, stopped to try to let it pass before resuming her trip. When she realized she wasn’t feeling better, she attempted to pull over again.

Only that time she inadvertently plunged headlong into a pond. “I started to feel some water on my feet, so I started to panic a little,” Apollon said when her vehicle started sinking into the pond.

Fortunately for her, Logan Hayes, of nearby Sebastian, was running errands in that area at the time. He saw Apollon’s car barrel into the pond and – despite temperatures in the low 40s  – he instinctively dove into the water. 

The only door Hayes could open once he reached the vehicle was the rear passenger. All the other doors were submerged.

Hayes said that Apollon was frantic in the driver’s seat when they saw each other. She was asking how to get out when Hayes said: “You have to come with me.”

Apollon climbed between the two front seats into the back of her car as the vehicle started tilting, causing more water to flood the car. After she managed to get out, Hayes wrapped his arms around her hips to help her swim to shore.

 

That is a great Florida Man - any Man - for that matter. Well played, Logan. You get a star from the teacher for that one...

Do you have gout like I do?

 

Black cherry concentrate does one thing, and only one thing. It eliminates Uric

 Acid in your system - that's all it does. And it works better  than any drug any

 doctor can prescribe. If you have gout, buy a bottle and take two a day, that's all.

 See for yourself if it doesn't work. Trust me - it does. Click the picture.
