After making about four u-turns, I got to the Publix parking lot and had to park a quarter of a mile away. You wouldn't believe where people were parking golf carts.

I find it hard to believe that people still attend these events. When we first moved here we went to a few of them. After waiting in line for eons to get food then not being able to find a place to sit to eat because of all these ignorant people who park themselves in the chairs meant for the restaurant customers, we quit going.

I've seen enough parades in my lifetime. I don't care to see any more.

These have to be people who are new to The Villages that attend these things. I'd bet most residents that have been here for a few years have given up.

Please stop the insanity! End these parades and celebrations!

Doc, I am 99 and 44/100 % sure that your post is a parody. It's a good one, too. Anyway, thanks for the smile this morning.

And if I am wrong........Oh, my!

(By the way, we decided at the last minute to go out and about and wade into that sea of green where we had fun and some surprisingly really good corned beef and cabbage from a booth. We sat on the steps of The Sharon and had our lovely dinner. -- I was a little confused though because I had seen those two people on stilts a while back........and I thought they were German.)
