We did it and it came back just as we were told--English, Irish, Norwegian; the wife has a little German in place of the Norwegian. Very distant South East trace. (India maybe??? No one knows)

BUT, the proud surprise for me: "More Neanderthal than average". Explains a lot.

Probably. The photo suggested she was a lot closer to 20 than the stated 53!

After the condo collapsed near Miami, an engineering firm has determined that the 28 story Miami-Dade Courthouse is in critical danger of collapse. The firm recommended that the top16 floors be closed immediately.

So it's too dangerous to be anywhere in the top 16 floors, but just fine to be underneath all those tons of concrete and steel?

Florida, doing it's best imitation of West Virginia here.

Car stopped at the light, not moving. Deputies respond and find the Captain "asleep" at the wheel with his foot on the break.

The punch line is there was no field sobriety test or medical determination done before the Captain drove off!!!

Here we see Florida Woman vandalizing and smashing up a Range Rover SUV.

I’m going to go out on a limb here and bet that the Rover is owned by Florida Man, who Florida Woman caught doing something he shouldn’t have been doing with some other Florida Woman.

That's a pretty good Photoshop, but it's only a slight exaggeration of what you can find in Florida when you get off the beaten path....

Get off the interstates & take some county roads. First, fill up w/ fuel, be packing heat, and don't stop for the banjo music!

Think I'd have added "and stay away from Key West, the I-4 corridor, and Jacksonville!"
