  7. At Disney World, they have to have nets over some outdoor eating areas to keep the gulls from swooping down and snatching food right off of people's plates!

I love comments and will attempt to reply to each one. However, lately I have been getting "Unknown" comments that are linked to some sort of web page. I will never open this sort of comment and will immediately mark as spam. I am not interested in opening something that could be detrimental to my blog security etc. Never have enjoyed hackers! Thanks!
