“Sometimes you just have to ignore ignorance.” Ain’t that the truth? A few days ago we were picking up a few things at Ollie’s, Sarasota’s answer to Ocean State, and out of nowhere, the cashier announced in a loud, authoritative voice that “this virus thing is a total hoax. I should know because I was a biology major.” Huh? I guess we should have all recognized the voice of authority. As they say....you can’t fix stupid.
