Seventeen??? That's nothing as last year this time I counted 30+ carts in the line! Went down to Colony yesterday and saw some folks doing some crazy things. Carts gunning it across in front of cars. Cars AND carts turning right at the same time onto Colong Blvd at the same stop sign. Also folks NOT using the turning lane but turning left from the driving lane (and of course not signaling). It was crazy! Someone will get killed down there "if" folks aren't vigilant and careful. It's like "everyone for themselves" but in a bad way!!!

As for doing studies...that's not uncommon. They did them up north as well!
