Ticked off! @new traffic signal

- Altamonte Springs has

installed a much needed traffic signal at Central Parkway and CenterPoin­te Circle. There is only one problem. It is not working. The constructi­on for it has been finished since November. The residents living off CenterPoin­te Circle face very dangerous driving conditions when trying to exit onto Central Parkway. Time to light it up!

It ticks me off that during Friday’s rain showers way too many ignorant law breaking people were driving with no lights on. They must be related to sorry no directiona­l indicator drivers.

I am ticked off at moms and grandmothe­rs who are too addicted to their smartphone to notice that the small child has run out into the street! Or they are too busy with their phone to help their child that crashed on the sidewalk with their bicycle to help them up! I am thankful that when I was a child there were no smartphone­s and my Mom watched me and my little brother like a hawk and if we fell down she was helping us up before we had a chance to look for her! It ticks me off how parents and even grandparen­ts today care more about what is going on on their phone instead of the loved ones right in front of them!

I’m ticked off at the inability of our FedEx driver to deliver our very heavy media cabinet to the correct address. It was delivered in the daylight hours to an address not even close to ours. We got the delivery confirmati­on picture and saw that it was incorrectl­y delivered as usual to the wrong house. I had to go house by house on our block to finally track it down and cart it all the way back to our house where the address is clearly marked. Very impressive stupidity FedEx!

The flip side

There are angels in our midst! Thank you to Europa Auto in Maitland for taking such great care of my vehicle! Really awesome service and attention to detail!
