Someone who I know well had a car crash into her back yard in the middle of the night. She said she had Sumter County police, State Troopers and The Village watch, the fire department and the medical response team, immediately.

They told her in the emergency call to get out of the house, in case the house was hit and structurally unsafe. She said the place was swarming with law enforcement within a minute or two.

It turned out to be someone ( A son of a villager) leaving a restaurant at closing time about two in the morning who was traveling south on Morse, went through the median taking out several bushes and a tree, crossed the northbound lane, the golf cart path, a fence at the back of her yard and thankfully just missed a (large) palm tree in her back yard and the front of his car was resting against her bird cage. Something had broken the undercarriage so that when he attempted to back up and leave, he could not. And he could not get out of his car.

She said it was a good thing that all of the police folks came so quickly because she was so mad she might have done him further damage with her bare hands.

I believe her. BUT she is not quite five foot tall and not even plump. She doesn't look intimidating, but I wouldn't cross her.

She is reading this. I love you girl.

PS. The Villages repaired all of the damage to their property in less than a week.(The median, the bushes, the tree, the golf cart path, the fence) No one had to threaten them with a class action suit.

I like to get a few licks in, don'tcha know.
