While the increased traffic and crowds can be attributed to the seasonal residents, I have my doubts that they are to blame for the increased surliness. Just the opposite, I suspect.
Thanks Skybo. We live in our TV home for six months every year, and we'd stay longer if US Immigration Laws permitted it. We've never rented our TV house out. We don't take living in The Bubble for granted and we're estatic every year when it comes time to come here. Seasonal Residents know the rules and don't like irresponsible drivers and accidents any more than frogs do. And we probably smile a lot because we're so darn grateful to be here.
