At this point, I have no idea why we bought a home here. I assure you that the damage has been done by many and after the election and pandemic it will not reverse back to the happy place it once was. It makes me sad that those we know who are liberals feel they must control the rest of us. I appreciate that The Villages is getting so much positive air time as it will increase my property values. Hence to sell and find a nicer, happier place that was once The Villages. Did I mention that apartments were never been part of The Villages plan?

I think that many people on both sides are justifiably concerned about spreading Covid-19 but most of all are concerned about catching it accidentally from someone and dying from it because 80% of people who died from Covid were over 70 years of age.
I wanted to go to the rally so bad when the president was here but I am very aware of the increased risk of catching Covid-19 with crowds, even masked crowds. Do not assume anyone who is over seventy hasn't learned a great deal by now. I find most older people are remarkably up on everything. I do think some people are born negative and will always be negative. Some people are also more prone to believe conspiracy theories. Not everyone has the innate ability to be logical. Some have been taught political bias in College, sadly. At any rate I find it best to search hard for the good and admirable in others. I am rarely disappointed.
