description: "Any time you jam descendants of slaves, rednecks, Indians, con artists, carpetbaggers, drug smugglers, fugitives, UFO abductees, strippers, alligators, and political refugees into a flat peninsula surrounded by water but with hardly a drop to drink anymore, you get a pretty weird place. Weird Florida". So says lifelong resident and award-winning journalist Eliot Kleinberg of his home state. Kleinberg chronicles a book-full of Florida's weirdness--and he's not making it up.
