Ah, Naples, Florida—where the palm trees are manicured, the cocktails are $18, and even the chaos comes with a side of luxury.

This week’s headlines prove that paradise has its quirks—some legal, some reptilian, and some literally on fire.

First up: the Naples City Council is considering a lawsuit against the State of Florida over a controversial new disaster law. Why? Because Tallahassee dared to limit the city’s post-hurricane powers. Yes, nothing screams “emergency preparedness” like a room full of well-tanned officials in pressed linen debating home rule while debris still floats in your canal. If you’re hoping for sandbags, try a law degree instead—your tax dollars are going to court.

Meanwhile, at the gas pump, locals are spiraling over a four-cent jump in prices. That’s right: $3.21 per gallon for regular. Outrageous! One Range Rover owner reportedly asked if the station accepted Rolexes as payment. Yelp reviews are heating up faster than a Florida steering wheel in August.

In more Floridian glory, Naples made a splash in the Florida Python Challenge. A local python hunter bagged 60 snakes and walked away with the $10,000 grand prize. Sixty. While most people panic over a lizard in the bathroom, this champion turned the Everglades into his personal Thunderdome. Somewhere between the luxury boutiques and waterfront estates, Naples now has a snake-wrangling title to defend. High fashion and higher fangs.

And just to round things out: A lightning bolt torched the attic of a Naples home this week. The homeowner, armed with nothing but a garden hose and raw determination, held off the flames until firefighters arrived. No injuries, just a scorched roof and one very brave dog. It’s unclear if the hose was designer, but in Naples, it’s entirely possible.

In short: This week, Naples flirted with litigation, complained about gas prices, conquered snakes, and shrugged off literal fire from the sky. All while maintaining a perfectly curated Instagram aesthetic.

Welcome to Naples—chaos, but make it coastal.
