While riding my bike today, my wife and I were passed by a speed racer going over the chitty chatty bridge. You know the bright colored dressed bikers who just want to go fast. He passed us, flew by whispering out of my way, and then about 2 miles down the path, we stopped to see him lying on the ground and being helped to his feet by the people whose car he ran into. 911 was called and there was a good dent in the backside of the car, hopefully he was okay.

While crossing the Lily bridge there was a biker in front of us crossing over the highway, a golf car crossed the solid line to pass all of us just before a corner. The biker shouted something and we proceeded on. Once into the Brownwood parking lot, the biker proceeded to chase the golf car down as he was going to the gas station. We did not stay for the conversation. But it wasn't going to be pleasant.

While resting at the Eisenhower Rec. Center, there was a women painting the door so the side door was being used. A woman came hurrying in carrying a bucket and a pilates ball and decided to hit the automatic door opener. The door opened and hit the painter in the head. And the women scurried into the side door.

All of this happened in one morning, and we figured out that the snowbirds had returned. Please be warned to watch out for the faster paced snowbirds. They need to decompress and adjust to the pace down here before more injuries occur. You have been warned, they may also need an attitude adjustment, please give them time to re-adjust.
This is my 3rd time as a renter in TV, I rent from mid-September to early April. I chose this time frame so that I can experience the busy period when the population in TV is at its greatest. I have still not decided if I am going to make TV my final stop when I retire in a year or two based on what I have learned during my previous two rental periods. It’s a shame that there is a certain segment of the TV population that always finds something to complain about while pointing a finger at snowbirds or part-time renters. Is life for you that boring that you feel the need to seek out, identify and document the drawbacks of being a snowbird? Instead of complaining, how about making an effort to communicate with them, you just might make a new friend.
