Default TV radio 640 AM; Doors on golf carts; Voting

Kathy and I enjoyed waking every day at 7:00 a.m. to the radio auto-on of 640 AM (The Villages radio station). That is superb, local radio. You even hear it walking around Lake Sumter square (good marketing for preview trippers). Stay up-to-date on area happenings, events, weather...and laid-back music from yesteryear. Am I showing my age? Guilty. Ahhh-640 AM.
-------------------------------------------------

I was surprised to the cost of (Curtis-style) golf cart enclosure doors. They appear to be great for cold weather or wet weather driving...2-3 seconds and you're protected from the weather. Faster than zippers and snap buttons on sunbrellas. But $1,500 to $1,700? Ouch! Glad that's optional. I understand they could be problemsome if you're parking (at the square); since the door has to swing out while opening or closing. Some (most?) of the parking stalls at the square end up with skinny-Minnie side room between your cart and the next cart -- not especially conducive for Curtis-style cart doors. Always trade-offs, right?

We heard that 85% of TV residents vote. Bravo! Count us in; because if you don't vote, you shouldn't complain if your legislators legislate against your desires. Here's to USA...the right to vote! Go, TV.
