Default Great story about people in The Villages.

Some may not read that "online" news source. It has a great heart touching story in it today about kindness of people in The Villages.

Why wouldn't folks read the online news? They cover a lot of stories that are never mentioned in the Sun. Just like the piece recently about 4 carts stolen in Spanish Springs. It gives us news outside the "bubble", and that isn't all bad.

Because that site's constant focus on crime and other antisocial behavior is tiresome and depressing. I know this stuff happens. I don't need to read it day after day to understand that. I suppose there's an audience for it, and they're welcome to wallow in it to their hearts content. I choose not to.

I read in the Daily Sun about the golf cart thefts.....

"Wallow" in it? C'mon,, it is just an alternative source for news.
