Ticked off! @data breaches

I am ticked off at how well AI can fool us. We need a universal AI logo that by law must appear on any AI photo or video creation, maybe in the lower righthand corner, or the creator (or distributor of it) would face fines etc. And the logo must appear during a whole fake video, not just once. This is getting too scary.
It seems like every other week I receive mail from financial institutions or health organizations declaring that there has been a data breach that might have exposed my personal information i.e. name, address, date of birth, and Social Security number.  How many fraud alerts can we place at the credit bureaus?  Oh, that’s right a while back I received one from them also.  This column isn’t big enough to reference the frustration over all the constant email, computer, and cellular phone scams and then come the notifications, alerts, and security updates.
I was ticked off to the max when a friend was mistreated due to the negligence of the Uber company. They sent a driver with expired license plates and driver license who almost killed her and when he was dragged off by policemen, Uber did not send another car. She ended up walking late at night to get home! I’ll never call them! This whole incident scared me greatly.
To everyone upset about next day puzzle answers – Google knows!  Search Cryptoquote and the specific date or the specific crossword puzzle clue.  No more puzzling about your puzzles.
I am ticked off that some restaurants are using Magical Dining as a way to boost profits by cheapening food, packing seating and overworking waiters.

The flip side

Had a good Magical Dining experience last night at Reel Fish on Orange Avenue. Normal portions, good service. Well worth the $40.
Thank you to the neighbors on Seneca Trail, Maitland, who found my wife after she wandered away from home, helped her up when she fell on the sidewalk, gave her water, made her comfortable, and tracked down her address on the internet. Your love and kindness are very much appreciated.
