\u2022 I am ticked off at the writer (rider?) asserting that there\u2019s nothing wrong with electric bikes. They must not use the Seminole Wekiva Trail like I do, where mostly kids are speeding, racing, weaving and popping wheelies despite signs that say \u201cno motorized vehicles.\u201d Moreover, they must be missing the news that more of these bikers are showing up in emergency rooms with injuries.<\/p>\n
\u2022 It is wonderful that in the \u201cfree state of Florida\u201d you are allowed to spread your germs as widely as you want, but the person who came to a dance class (at a wellness center!) with a respiratory illness ruined the experience for the rest of us who were mostly old enough that a respiratory illness could be deadly.<\/p>\n
\u2022 I love-love-love Ollie\u2019s closeout\/buyout stores, but I wish their aisles were numbered so employees could tell you exactly where to look for what you can\u2019t find.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Apparently, Florida drivers do not realize how rude it is to tailgate. What\u2019s more, all that accomplishes is annoying and angering the driver who is being tailgated. Angering the drivers you\u2019re sharing the road with isn\u2019t the smartest path. Stop it.<\/p>\n
The flip side<\/p>\n
\u2022 Thank you to my husband, Dan, for covering up many of our plants in our Florida Friendly garden. Most of the plants survived with the temperatures dropping into the 20s.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Maximum kudos to Orlando Shakes for standing up to the modern-day morons who hide in their electronics. Our culture can use many, many more individuals and organizations that stand up to bigots of the last century.<\/p>\n
