Then there was the time that my dad got his car stuck in the sand at a construction site on Gandy Boulevard near South Westshore.

There was the time I was digging post holes for a residential fence on North Edison in Forest Hills, not far from the Babe Zaharias Golf Course.

And, when laying sod at my house in Carrollwood, blocks away from the original Carrollwood development, I found there is nothing but sand under the thin layer of sod.

I'm curious, where did you experience soil that wasn't sand, other than where developers trucked in fill dirt or crushed shell?

(In answer to your question, I'm in The Villages for a few days right now.)

Glad you are here.
