Can you tell me an Alamo car rental Address?
I want to rent a car in Alamo in Orlando Florida. I checked the web site and I found out that there’s more than one Alamo there. I really can’t remember the address. It’s located in the highway almost near Magic Kingdom. I need the correct address.
Thanks in advance

I used to work at a convience store years ago and one day about two to three army trucks pulled in. You’ve seen them before, they’re hauling something in back, tied down with a giant green trap. When the soldiers trundled in for refreshments, I tried asking them what was tied down underneath those tarps. I was promptly told that it was top secret like, and that they couldn’t tell me.
“Well,” I said, “where you guys headed anyhow? It’s obvious you’re hauling something somewhere.”
“Can’t tell you that either.”
So I gave up. They paid for their drinks and politely went on their way. My question is, if they were speeding on the highway and got pulled over by a state trooper, would the trooper have a legal right to search the truck? To see what is under the tarp? Would his authority exceed the U.S. governments order that whatever was being hauled was not to be seen by anyone? And if not, how would the soldiers stop him?
I ask all this because how easy it would be for a rich drug lord to buy some of those very same army trucks on the black market, hire some dopes dressed up in soldier uniforms to drive it, and load it up with his illegal drugs and haul it to whatever destination he wanted, if in fact a police officer cannot search one of those vehicles.
Just saying, for people who are on the dark side like that and don’t care about breaking the law, would something like that work? Tell me your thoughts.

A library 15-20 minutes down the highway from us advertised a couple of storytimes this year. One toddler-friendly deal, parents stay, no registration; one for ages 4 and up, ‘parents are welcome to use this time to run errands,’ said the leaflet. Registration req’d, 45min, story, song, small craft.
I registered and brought my 4yo. A brisk lady was busy shooing the kids (3 others?) off into a separate room closed off from the rest of the library. We followed. I was asked to leave, without any lead-up or explanation or ‘Well, we don’t usually allow the parents to stay but you could take a seat there’ or anything, just: no parents.
I was not into leaving my kid with an unknown, unsupervised individual, and she had absolutely no interest in staying. We went home.
The room they’re using is a large rectangular thing with a rug &c at one end and a bunch of random chairs at the other; that parents couldn’t occupy the chairs and make sure their kids were happy and make sure the entertainment &c was something worth driving there for was, I thought, bizarre.
My instinct is to write a polite letter to the library telling them their policy is nutty. But. Is this at all common? Have you ever seen a library that kicks out the parents for a storytime? What would you say?
I don’t know how useful a letter might be as the beat-it-Mummy lady is the children’s librarian (!) and, I would assume, highly unlikely to renounce her storytime duties, and she was clearly not an empathetic caregiver of the sort I’m ever going to want to entertain my kid even if I’m ten feet away. OTOH our closer library, which is affiliated with this one, has a WONDERFUL storytime lady, and I almost want to say “Mrs Library #2 should consider attending storytime with Mrs Library #1 to see how it can work with parents in the room, etc” and generally hint that more training is req’d…
