Making a left hand turn from the center lane from Morse or Buena Vista onto 466 or 466a. I have seen this so many times I thought is might be a new Florida driving law that I was unaware of. I have found only one or two intersections that allow for two lane let turns.

They walk around on a morning when it's 35 degrees out wearing t shirts, shorts and flip flops because "I'm in Florida!"

Their golf cars are naked.... not yet identifed with emblems, decals, or flags.

I know that when we were new we waved to every person walking,driving, running, or driving a golf cart.We still wave to walkers but have stopped the rest unless someone waves first.Don't think my arm could have kept that up and still be able to throw a softball...lol!!

You can tell when someone is new in the Villages by the way they introduce themselves. They will say something like this: Howdy, neighbor, I'm new here in the Villages......

This might apply to all Villagers
 
Couples are holding hands....If we did that, it would be to help break the fall....Ha Ha:1rotfl::1rotfl:

When newbies hear people talk about acid build up, they think the discussion is about indigestion instead of cart batteries.
