Smile I Could Tell

I could tell it is that time of year. So far in the last couple of days I have received at least 2-3 vulgar signs from, I hate to say it, out of state drivers. One was because they did not know how to drive around the circle and blamed me for their lack of knowledge, the other was because the driver increased her speed to cut me off from driving out of Laurel Manor. I am not saying our Florida drivers are immune from this stupidity it just increases in the Tourist season which we are in. We have to just live with it, use the carts when we can and out live the season overflow. Having said this I honestly feel there is a big difference between the year around residents and those that just come as Tourists or to get away from the snow. Many many years ago (more than 20) when we were snow birds I remember the difference in attitude then and now. We have to learn to get along and recognize the differences. A good example are the visitors and renters with the circles. Most don't understand them and it is up to us to be cautious and look out for the other guy.
