I just migrated down Monday of this week. This is the earliest I've ever come down, by about a month, and it's busier than I thought it would be. At least, the non-Villages roads, like 466A, was, but those apartments by Lowe's look to be done, or closer to it, so maybe that's the reason.

I'm here without a car for a month, so I am using my golf cart exclusively, and the MMPs are very quiet compared to the cooler months. It's very nice! I took the cart to the neighborhood Walmart on 466A, and there were empty parking spots all over the lot, and plenty of open self-checkout registers. Also very nice!

Maybe because this is my 6th winter I haven't screwed up to badly yet, although I did catch myself trundling along with the turn signal clicking away. I hate that. I have to wire something up so I can see that right turn signal better in my peripheral vision.

When I do get my car, I will have to be on hyper-alert not to forget that my CRV is not allowed on the MMP. I really hope I don't forget that.
