    Carona Nazis Close the Beach for Walking here on the West Coast of Florida away from crowded areas. We talked with a man who said he shouldn't have brought his beach chair as they only allow you to walk in the morning. This was far away from any crowded areas. My wife, who is an ER Nurse on our 25th anniversary, can't believe they have taken it to this extreme. We said to one another "Will they shut it down for the next Flu seasons to come"?? We were going to go to Bora Bora this Thursday, but the doctors...

    Obama "I had a rear end access accident and my insurance company just laughed" I have never heard so many lies and straw man arguments made up on the fly in my life. Maybe someone should tell Obama if you get rear ended it isn't your insurance that pays for the accident, it is the person that hit you.

    Every 911 call begins with a question. Dispatcher: "Do you need the police or the paramedics?" But if you dial 911 with a medical emergency and call for an ambulance, the bill is coming to you.

"Base, ambulance ride: $685.25. 55; miles: $1,540, a total amount of $2,225.25.," Myleen Chepin, a bill recipient, said. Chepin of Simi Valley is facing more than $13,000 in ambulance bills.

But that time out did not last long. More words are exchanged. Then the younger man walks up front for some more yelling followed by fists flying. Note: the older gentlemen is wearing a light...
