As to the "rush" by people, a couple years ago I asked a relative who has lived here since 2002 as to why people who are retired are in such a rush. I pointed out that being retired, everyone should have plenty of time to get to where they needed to be (emergencies aside). He pointed out that perhaps the people in a rush don't have that much time left (he said to think about it....) and are trying to fit everything in before their time comes. I know he was being somewhat facetious, so that leaves me with what is the rush? I worked in a position where I had meetings with people around the world (I hated facilitating a meeting at 10 PM so that my colleagues in Shanghai had the opportunity to have a normal workday meeting instead of always meeting on our time. Everything had to be done "right now" and I always felt that I was "fighting fires". I retired from that life, so I am probably the one who is at you as you zoom by me in your while I am enjoying a nice ride seeing the beauty of the Villages and listening to my music.



Good questions Gracie. I believe I understand the genesis of your questions, so I will presume and say "who" is NOT THE DEVELOPERS when it comes to the legality of changing the rules of the public roadway.
Time or the use thereof means different things to different people. Why the rush? Well I retired, I didn't die The importance of time management for me hasn't changed only my tasks, responsibilities, activities,reasons have.

As to the tunnel being repaired. glad to see they are working on them now rather than in prime season
