by Carl Hiaasen
Ok, now I get it! Of course, by "it" I mean all the Hiaasen hoopla among those with whom I share a certain brand of humor – an "it" that baffled me after my first encounter with Carl via Bad Monkey. We're back in Florida, where even the craziest of characters are plausible probable. Since I'm not...
