The Daytona 500 was interesting for most of the day but it turned into a colossal bore near the end when it was no more than a series of crashes. Not much drama in watching cars being towed

Just wondering, what become of the “No call” registry?” Remember that, you could exempt your number from telemarketers and actually got to have some serenity without the phone ringing. Ah, those were simpler times
