Thank you, sweet Gracie for supporting my integrety I posted the incident as a warning to let other TOTV know such injuries occur. (Seldom reported in the newspape) There are so many extra folk here at the moment, that all amenities, roads, restaurents etc., are straining to maintain some semblence of civility. With visitors attempting to sample every single thing offered at TV during their short stay, I have notice a trend of "get out of my way".. I will be the first to admit, this is only MY little survey. As I travel TV in my golf cart, I've had several near misses involvng out of state tagged cars cutting in front to make a turn, beat me to the "carts merge" signs, wrong way cart travel, (another post involving a lady attempting to go through the posts put there to STOP folks from passing though) I conclude a healthy percentage are visitors on a mission. It is also reflected in some of the classes I take, the class number of attendees having doubled. For another month, an hour wait is essential to ensure getting into class. As I listen I hear eager conversations of a very full day of activities planned for the remainder of the day. I don't begrudge our seasonal visitors, indeed they help "pay our way" so to speak. Its the frantic pace so many of them keep. Lastly, enjoy our beautiful Home Town and all its' amenities, but please be "safe out there"
