For retirees, which includes most of the 114,000 in The Villages, Sunday is no different than any other day when it comes to not being disturbed. It's the time of day, not the time of the week, that should be addressed.

Loud noises at 3 a.m. is bad any day of the week. Workers at 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. on any day should be fine. People have to make a living. Many do their second jobs on weekends. I don't see that Sunday is any more sacrosanct than any other day, if all we're talking about it disturbing someone's sleep or tranquility.

Maybe The Villages, if it hasn't already, could set the hours during which loud noises and work would be permitted. Not wild parties, although that might tamp down some of the fun in The Villages.

See you this winter.
This time, we won't be renters, but in a home that one of us owns.

I can't wait!
