Judging from our latest exposure to large crowds it is clear a lot of this has gone by the boards both young and old. I have never seen such poor manners, disrupted people and lack of considerations. The bad part is that today we were shopping in a major shopping store and the same lack of manners, etc were in existence there in the Villages as well to the many places we over the last month. It is sad that what we observed over the last month we also experienced in The Villages. All who are blaming walkers, cart drivers, cars, etc. in The Villages may be right but that is just an extension of their normal living styles. They are either angry people or so overrun by crowds they can no longer keep good attitudes, etc. I don't think we can change their life styles at this time and have to adapt to the new way a lot of people are now acting as part of the fabric in The Villages. NET: We have a lot of pretty bad people and doubt they will just change because someone did a good job of explaining rules of the road.

Imagine what the Amish are going through.
