THIS WEEK'S DEAR JOHN LETTER!
Dear John,
I recently rented a different apartment. There have been times that I've come home to notice things seem to have been moved. I've never been completely sure, but it seemed like it to me. Last week I was home from work with the flu. I was sleeping, then I woke up as I heard some noise in the kitchen. I went out to discover the maintenance man inside my apartment. He seemed shocked to see me there. He said he was changing the smoke detector batteries. I told him I would do that. I'm wondering if he comes in here often? I called the office and left a message, but I have not heard anything back. I thought they needed to let me know if they were going to be in my apartment. I kinda want to move now. Seems like I'm overreacting, but I really don't feel safe. If I do make a big deal of it and he gets fired, he will also most likely know it was because of me. I'm not sure what to do. Any ideas?
Thank you,
Freaked Out Renter

One of the biggest complaints among job hunters these days, according to a poll, is a lack of information on salaries being offered. Among those who have sought employment in the past 5 years, an employer’s failure to disclose pay levels followed only being turned down due to “no experience” and the interview process being too long as most-mentioned complaints. And yes, maybe companies should be more forthright about what they are paying their employees. The same study found that 55% of workers say they’d be OK with their colleagues knowing what they earn. 31% said they’re neutral on the idea, with just 9% unhappy about that idea. 73% agree that greater transparency over salaries would make workplaces fairer.

New
York will become the first US city to test a new vehicle system that
could stop drivers from speeding by recognizing speed limits and
either issuing visual or audible alerts, or preventing vehicles from
going above those limits. The speed-limiting technology, recommended
by the National Transportation Safety Board, will be installed in 50
of the city’s fleet vehicles. After more than 20,000 deaths on US
roads this year alone, the NTSB has called on the government to give
car makers incentives to put speed-limiting systems in new cars.

Khloe Kardashian has revealed a recent skin cancer scare — which resulted in a tumor being removed from her face. She got candid about the health issue Tuesday on social media, saying she went to the doctor for a biopsy after noticing a small bump on her face that remained there for 7 months. She posted that a dermatologist examined her face, then she had 2 biopsies, resulting in doctors telling her she had precancerous melanoma, and needed an immediate operation to remove a tumor. Kardashian said a Beverly Hills surgeon performed the operation, and everything appears fine now, and she’s healing.
T.J. Miller and Ryan Reynolds’ “Deadpool” drama is dead in the water. Miller has revealed that his former co-star reached out to him via email after Miller alleged that Reynolds was “horrifically mean” to him on set. During a Wednesday radio interview, Miller said it “was a misunderstanding,” and called Reynolds “cool” and a “good dude”, adding: “It was very cool for him to say, ‘Hey, you know, I just heard … that you were upset about this’…and then we sort of hashed it out quickly.” Miller noted that he “feels bad” over how “misconstrued” his on-set story became after his “Adam Corolla Show” podcast interview went viral.
Emily Ratajkowski is enjoying her freedom. The “My Body” author—who filed for divorce from Sebastian Bear-McClard last month—confirmed her relationship status, and dismissed a question about her rumored romance with Brad Pitt. In a new interview, she said: “One of the things I write about in the…book is about control and…one of the best ways to actually be happy and have some semblance of control is letting go.” She said that she’s “newly single” for the first time, and is enjoying “not being super worried about how I’m being perceived.” It was reported last month that she and Pitt have been casually hanging out.

Here it is: Your annual excuse NOT to rake the leaves that are piling higher on your lawn by the day. The Nature Conservancy of Canada has a green-friendly response for those of us who’d like to avoid the back-breaking and callus-creating task of clearing the leaves: Just don’t do it. Why not? There are 3 major benefits to keeping the leaves in the yard during fall. First, it helps biodiversity, as there are many native insects and small critters such as frogs and toads that will hibernate under the leaves during the winter. As well, it is a food source for birds, such as robins, since they will often flip leaves over to look for insects to eat. The other benefit is to the lawn itself. Leaves provide a natural mulch when they break down, which helps soil development. While large piles of leaves can impact the growth of grass and other plants come spring, a thin layer of leaves can help maintain the health of gardens and lawns.
A video of a turtle perched on top of another turtle has gone viral. The top turtle has their feet stretched out and it has been set to the soundtrack from the 80s movie Dirty Dancing. It looks like the turtles are practicing the famous LIFT scene! https://twitter.com/UOldguy/status/1579477570160328705

BEST HALLOWEEN CANDY:
According to rankings by 10 of the leading “expert” websites, these Halloween candies are rated the highest…
1. Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups: The taste that truly exemplifies the holiday. (And it’s the one Dads should be most concerned with “checking” before the kids sample their haul…!)
2. Twix: It’s a cookie, it’s a chocolate, it’s a caramel…they are everything one could possibly want in one candy. (Except peanut butter…)
3. Sour Patch Kids: First they’re sour, then they’re sweet…and they have long been one of the best fruit-flavored sugary sweets for good reason.
4. Snickers: Like Twix, but different – this 3-layered chocolate delicacy is the heartiest of all chocolate bars, featuring nougat, caramel, nuts, and chocolate. (Every food group covered!)
5.Starbursts:
Yes, they made the list, but it should be noted that experts are
choosy with their flavors. Orange is out of the question, and pink is
considered the holy grail.

In Dubai, 150 people, smartphones out, watched as an electric flying taxi took off in the first public display of what the not-too distant future will bring. A gaggle of flying taxi companies around the world all seem to be on the verge of populating the skies with different versions of “eVTOL” vehicles, or “electric vertical take-off and landing.” XPeng Motors’ X2 flying taxi, used in the exhibition, is a teardrop-shaped 2-seater that can cruise at 1,000 meters at about 80 mph (130 kph). The battery can power a 35-minute flight, enough for a CEO’s quick carbon-free jaunt across a skyline. The test was unmanned, and done by automated control.
