Plus: Real ID renewal processes and Los Gatos off-ramp closures

Q: Like many other people, I am irritated with multiple unwanted calls about auto and other warranties, even after multiple attempts to place myself on the Do Not Call List. I take a page out of Jerry Seinfeld’s comedy show. I choose prompt #1 to speak to a representative. When the person answers the call, I ask for their home phone # so I can call them multiple times a day. I ask when they eat dinner and go to sleep. I explain that it seems like those would be great times to call them.

They usually hang up. A few get upset. I know it does not stop the next call to my phone, but I tie up their phone lines for a few minutes and it gives me a little smile.Q: I vehemently disagree with recent comments regarding closure of the downtown ramp to Highway 17 to avoid congestion in Los Gatos. As a tax-paying Los Gatos resident who lives on Black Road, my family and I rely on that ramp to get into town and home every day.

that spills into town is a part of living in Los Gatos and Monte Sereno. We have a right to the efficiency that the ramp brings to our lives and people in town need to respect that right.A: Thanks for sharing your perspective, too. There are many points of view on this challenging traffic problem.on DMV renewals for seniors. However, I am still not clear about the REAL ID.
