A new flyover from 408 to I-4 eastbound opened yesterday. Traffic was pretty light on the ramp. Does it take you a while to get adjusted before trying out a new route? Or do you just drive on it immediately? If you have been on the new flyover what do you think of it?

An observation wheel 541 feet high is being planned for the Orlando area. It looks like a huge ferris wheel. Do you think it will succeed in Orlando with so much competition from the theme parks?

Four drugstore robberies have taken place in the last week. It has some customers shopping during the day, rather than very early in the morning or late at night. Would you change schedules or do something different when going to the drugstore in order to stay safe?

Ever since the Trinity Broadcasting Network took over The Holy Land Experience the bible based theme park has more than doubled their attendance. We all know of Disney and Universal, but have you heard of The Holy Land Experience here in Central Florida? If so what do you think of it?

With the poor economy many won't go away on vacation. Instead they'll stay in town and take a staycation. So have any good ideas on a staycation? Local theme parks are obvious. What else do you plan to do?

This morning my head's pounding. I'm covering a small brushfire. The smoke's not even heavy, but it's there and it's aggravating. My eyes keep watering. The Health Department has put out an air quality alert. So just wondering if anyone else is bothered by this brushfire smoke? What are you doing to deal with it if you're outside?

An Amber Alert out of New Smyra Beach was cancelled, after officers discovered a teen played a hoax. The clerk at a Shell station called police, after the female teenager asked him too, saying she needed help. She made him believe she was being taken away against her will by three other people. It turns out a secure transport company was taking the teenager to a rehab facility, but weren't wearing any uniforms to identifiy themselves. So who should be responsible for all the time and effort that went into looking for this teenager? Her parents or the secure transport company that failed to put their employees in uniform?

Florida Fish and Wildlife officers are trying to trap a 10 foot gator in Windermere. As a rule, officers must destroy a gator that's more than 4 feet long if it's a nuisance. There are some wildlife and gator refuges that would take in a 10 foot gator to be an attraction. Do you think officers should have the option of turning a gator over to a refuge rather than killing it?

State lawmakers are debating over the commuter rail. They'd need to buy 61 miles of track from C-S-X Transportation. The commuter rail project would provide transportation to Central Floridians from Debary in Volusia County to Kissimee in Osceola County. However, some in Lakeland are opposed to it because it would increase traffic and noise in their area. But it would relieve traffic in other areas. What do you think? Do you support the commuter rail?

Senator Bill Nelson (D-Florida) told me today that he won't be any presidential candidate's running mate. He believes if Senator Clinton (D-NY) is the nominee, Senator Obama (D-IL) should be the running mate. And if Senator Obama is the nominee, Senator Clinton should be the running mate. When I asked if he wanted to be the running mate, he simply stated he wanted the party to win. What's your opinion? Do you think he made the right decision?
