The land goes on forever, flat as paper. It's no wonder flat-earthers still exist. In the middle of nowhere, you can watch the world stretch to the edge of your vision like the surface of some endless ocean.

Nothing but parking lots, shopping plazas, and gated communities, each trying to out-grandiose the last.

Florida to get season's first 'cold' front this weekend, but South Florida might be out of luck

The season's first cold front will descend upon Florida this weekend, and South Florida will be less rainy as a result, with partly sunny skies. But don't expect a significant cooldown or dry-out. "Though the frontal boundary will pass through South Florida, it won't be a complete dry passage," said meteorologist Sammy Hadi of the National Weather Service's Miami office. He said there will still be a 30% to 50% chance of rain, even on the side of the front.
