It feels to me that many people are leaving us here in The Villages all at once.

Hasn't Florida has been referred to as "God's waiting Room"?

I think that may have been earlier in the Morning 9:45ish, the bridge was backed up when I went over to watch the sailboats.

We came up 441 around 12 noon or so. Looked like normal cart traffic in both directions so it was probably earlier in the day. Haven't seen or heard anything else.

The Villages actually has a larger population than Ocala, Summerfield, Bellevue, Fruitland Park, Leesburg and Wildwood combined.

I'm surprised that a lot more businesses don't move closer to here. The Sam's Club in Ocala is much larger than the one here. I suppose it's because of the access to the highway which The Villages is lacking.
