AND this was not a jab at snowbirds like our wonderful Barefoot and many others. It is crowded, Florida is enjoying....or suffering through one of the busiest tourist times it has had in YEARS....according to Wesh 2. Gas prices down and employment up may be the reason.

January, February and March are busy months everywhere in Florida. A very good point. This terrible accident had little to do with how busy it was or how many were shopping at Colony Plaza or that residents were driving around in their golf cart or a man was on a practice run to train for a marathon. Rather, it had everything to do with a 58 year old man suffering a medical emergency while driving his SUV and unfortunately it resulted in a horrible accident that was unpredictable and unintentional.
There is no need to become paranoid about driving our golf carts because of a "one in 10 million freak accident". My prayers go out to family and friends of all affected by this tragedy.
