Oh Florida.....

There are three lakes that flank the entrance to my subdivision. From time-to-time we'll see ducks or turtles making the trek across the road. Most of us stop and either wait for them to cross or help them, especially the turtles.

Because this is the Florida thread....

When a Florida man gets cancer and needs more sick days for his treatment, his coworkers and strangers...wait, this can't be Florida. That's not how any of this works.

Florida teacher battling cancer posted plea for sick days. His co-workers didn’t let him down

The Florida public school teacher figured he needed at least 20 additional sick days to deal with more chemotherapy, days he just didn’t have. So on July 23, right there in a room at Tomsich Health and Medical Center of Palm Beach County, Goodman took a selfie, posted it on Facebook and appealed for help.

Within four days he had enough sick days to cover an entire semester.

Teachers, staff members, administrators and even lunchroom workers who pay into the Florida retirement system transferred 75 sick days to Goodman.
