\u2022 Election Day can\u2019t come soon enough for me. It will mean the end of the relentless and awful TV campaign ads that are wearing me down. Both sides seem to be in competition with each other to see who can be uglier and who can lie more. I don\u2019t want to vote for anyone!<\/p>\n
\u2022 I am ticked off and sickened by the people at the UCF-BYU game who chanted against the Mormons. Who in their right mind would think that behavior is OK? Is this how low we have sunk as a society? As a UCF alum, I am ashamed.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Three games into the Orlando Magic season and Paolo Banchero and Jalen Suggs are out. Again. If 40% of the starters aren\u2019t playing, my tickets should be 40% off.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Why is it that as soon as I mail in my early ballot, I start hearing about all the negative things for the candidate I voted for?<\/p>\n
The flip side<\/p>\n
\u2022 I received a letter from the IRS four days ago saying I had overpaid my 2025 taxes by $165 and would receive a refund. It was a nice surprise, but I thought it would take a while before I received it. However, three days later I got a check in the mail for $170. They noted that $5 extra was for interest! I was shocked that when the government works right, it really does. Interest? Who would have guessed?<\/p>\n
