Wednesday held the photo of itself with Tuesday close, as a single tear ran down its face, mirroring the rain on the windowpane. "Not yet," Wednesday whispered to the photo, to itself, to the night. "It's not over yet."
A Florida state appeals court has blocked Tampa strip club magnate Joe Redner from growing his own medical marijuana by imposing a stay on a judge's previous ruling that he could do so.

You'll have to endure a million more puns to find out, probably.
A reported 30,000 gallons of reclaimed water leaked at St. Pete's Southwest Water Reclamation Facility yesterday after a worker ran into a pipe with a backhoe. The leak was discovered immediately, and almost all of the fully treated water was contained at the facility. Normally this wouldn't be news but, you know, St. Pete.
Hillsborough deputies busted a stolen-goods ring and snagged $90.000 worth of hot retail merchandise, a large amount of weed and a "stolen boat."
