"Forget boy Howdy... boy Mr. Flubberdubber! I feel uneasy enough that a careless golf cart driver will approach me when I take my mobility scooter on the GC path from Hadley to Colony; but 466???

Gracie, if you ever see me driving my scooter past your village on 466, please call those nice young men in their clean white coats to come and take me away!!!!"


Your words carry a lot of weight on this site.
Skyguy is a dear friend of ours and I think he was funning a bit with me. I guess the only thing anyone could have done is call 911. It would take a few seconds to think how to describe it. Let's all hope that someone who knows him can make him stop this dangerous practice.

It took a few inquiries for all of us readers to get the meaning of his post.
Most of us weren't sure of the conveyance. Most of us would have been equally surprised and you couldn't just STOP on 466 and approach him.

As the OP said...Beat this, will you? Which I take to mean, that this was totally unexpected to see.
