• The spam industry is totally out of control. Calls from a phone in Italy saying in Spanish about an unauthorized charge on a credit card. And how about the calls about approved loans? It is simply that you cannot accept a call if you do not recognize the number as a proper one. Is there any private or government entity that can intervene to stop this madness?
• To the person who is ticked off that they left their cart in front of their car for the next person, but the next person to park in that spot didn’t take the shopping cart with them: That’s not how it works. You bring your own cart to a return area. The next person to take your parking spot isn’t supposed to take your cart. Maybe they just ran in the store to pick up a pack of gum.
• I’m ticked off at some of the contestants on “The Price Is Right” show. They act like idiots and wonder if they are embarrassed when they see themselves on TV. I sure would be!

• Thank you to Laura on the Questline at the downtown Orlando Public Library, who told me about their Local Wanderer program in which anyone with a valid library card can get free tickets to the Central Florida Zoo, the Orlando Science Center, Regional History Center, local museums, Dr. Phillips Center and many other arts venues. She was so helpful, polite and knowledgeable.
