I am not as bothered by the 27/441 bridge. I am not sure the reason why, maybe carts are going slower, I really do not know the answer, but I have never felt uncomfortable on that bridge like I do most times on Sumter. The Sumter bridge is the only place in TV I feel unsafe in a golf car. I go 12-13 MPH (I know it is 10 MPH) and the speed "some" people come in the opposite direction amazes me (pedal to the metal). One mistake changes both of our lives.

I have never posted this on TOTV, but about a month ago as I crossed at my normal 12-13 a guy passed me. PASSED ME on the bridge where the sidewalk is. After he gets off the bridge his cart goes 18 MPH. If my cart was not freshly painted I would a ........ OK, I am done now .

Time to take Caly for a ride up to the new premiers on 466. I think I will go by Palmer route tonight
