I’m ticked off ! I have walked for years on North Beach Street in Ormond Beach. So, some overzealou­s politician has installed three radar warning signs for speeders that are there 24/7. I now have to walk in that beam of radar 70 minutes per week and be exposed to radiation instead of putting a police car out there to stop speeders. Where do they get these ideas?

I’ll bet $100 that there are more Steelers fans in Central Florida than Miami fans. I went to a Steelers game in Jacksonvil­le and we outnumbere­d the Jags fans by a mile.

Living in an upscale gated community on the north side of Orlando and the “neighborho­od monitors” for the section I reside in are not doing their job. They ignore dirty (tile) roofs as well as another infraction, which is one neighbor parking every car they own in the driveway, not the garage. Please don’t offer to serve on the committee if you aren’t willing to do your job.

Just when you think Fred Basset is boring and unfunny, the geniuses at the newspaper stick us with the moronic Mt. Pleasant. The two who draw this garbage could draw flies! Get over your virtue signaling and bring back an actual funny strip, Mallard Fillmore.

Could we get rid of Caption It in the Sunday funnies? It doesn’t even give the answer to last week’s entry. Go back to the kids’ jokes.

To the TV newscaster -a small child is a “toddler” not a “tottler.” If you are a newscaster, you need to know how to pronounce basic words.

The flip side

Thank you to my mom, who hosted our family holiday feast at her house as my niece’s husband became ill just days before Thanksgivi­ng and they were to originally host the get-together. She got the last turkey and the last refrigerat­ed mashed potatoes at the grocery store the day before Thanksgivi­ng. The rest of the family brought their side dishes and desserts.

Need to vent?
