Default The National News deemed it important enough to air

Looking for reasons? Constantly? We just happened to end our Easter Sunday by tuning in to the ABC National News and were actually quite surprised when David Muir showcased the sinkhole in the Villages, Florida.

Thought I'd share the news video as it was quite dramatic as taken by the workmen while it was still in progress.......lots of that dirt going under.

Anyone in their right mind would be concerned. At least on the planet that I dwell on.

Also, I shared it on TOTV (not because I don't believe you all have newspaper access and televisions) just in case you were all "dancing the night away" at the squares......or else bidding your holiday guests goodbye........again, it was quite a dramatic video.

Is that a crime nowadays? Actually, I just looked, and I'm not the only one concerned about sinkholes in TV, nor feeling sorry for the homeowners. As a potential homeowner, we all need to be aware of our future investment in the "Friendliest Little Hometown".

One thing about New England, we still have free speech and the right to express varying opinions.

Personally, I'm thinking that at least with a hurricane, you have advanced warning.

Sorry to upset you, however, I can't get the image of that poor man in Brandon/Tampa being buried alive under his sinkhole.
When he went to bed that night, little did he know.........to me it was a great tragedy, ultimately for him, and for his family.

I'm sure I'm not alone. I live in the real world.


We'll be "vicariously" enjoying the Boston Marathon "live" on Direct T.V. today thanks to the Boston channel......and not dwelling on the sinkholes in Florida's lake country.
