As scene in The Villages
Sometimes it's the little touches that makes life interesting.

Maybe the person hired did not speak English.....unsure what direction to install the signage. :1rotfl:
|
:clap2:
|
And your point is?:1rotfl:

:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

These gate arms seem to get hit rather frequently by vehicles. I understand that there is a $300 charge if you hit one??
|
Well it is an outbound gate, so everything would be reversed :clap2:
|
Because the gates are broken so frequently, I think that TV has just started recycling the broken gates. Upside down might be the only way that the gate would fit in its new location. Other than it being funny, why would it bother you?
|
Perhaps, just perhaps it's a special gate made specifically for the round-a-bout challenged! :shocked:
|
C'mon, gang!
The gate was made for those of us who are head over heels happy about living in TV! |
:clap2::clap2:

Be glad someone is putting the gates back up. Quit bit---ing!

Under the new directives which required The Villages (in order to continue the use of the gates on it's roads, which are public roads) to extend the length of the gates so that everyone, resident and non-resident, must stop for the gates; the directive also prohibited the use of the "welcome home" sign on the entrance gates.
The Villages merely reversed many of the gate arms in the spirit of frugality. |
Just a couple of comments......
1) I do not know how the title of the thread got changed from "As Scene in The Villages to "As seen...?" Someone with the ability to change it did not get it and did not feel the need to ask!
2) At least one person missed the fact that I posted the photo in "Just for Fun." Guess he missed the intended whimsy!!! 3) Point two leads to the reason that some people post something then are never heard from again.....foul language :chilout in reply to an obvious lark. Go figure! |
Tpop1: FWIW, I appreciated the play on words in your original title. I have to believe they many others did also! I posted my response following the lead of your light-hearted observation.

The Belvedere exit gate does a kind of hop before opening all the way. I guess I was thinking about this when I joined onto this light-hearted thread.
My first post on this thread was about the $300 charged for knocking down a gate. I am afraid that the exit gate at Belvedere is not going to go through its hop at the end and instead come down in front of my vehicle as I am driving through it. I am very curious how Skyguy got the message to reverse. |

Made me smile!!!:p:p Thanks, One did not!!! |

Skyguy, please give me a spoiler alert if you decide to share your knowledge. Yes...I am still holding out hope that Santa, like Elvis, still lives. |
I'm sure the sign is intentionally made this way so you can read it in your rearview mirror...now, as for Skyguy...amazing!! (I'm still trying to figure out how to underline stuff without erasing it!)

Upside Down Text | Flip Text, Type Upside Down, or Backwards Text p.s. If anyone uses this, please use it sparingly. It can be quite annoying if it's overdone! |

:loco:Thanks Skyguy..Steve just reminded me that the sign is upside down (umm, maybe I have a weird form of dyslexia..I didn't see it as upside down, only backwards..hmm...) Oh well, I guess you have to read it in your rearview mirror while standing on your head in your golf cart....but that brings us to the other posts, the one's about happy hours in the squares..I'm soooo confused
|
To all concerned with my lovely wife's comment, I'll make darned sure that at least she isn't actually driving the cart when she contorts to read the gates.

I am doomed! "The Link" will sit there, in this forum, calling to me like a Siren to a sailor. I feel like Pinto in Animal House, listening to conflicting whispers in either ear. Should I? Shouldn't I? I'm having a Vinnie Barbarino flashback; I am so confused! I want to know the secret. I need to know the secret! But what if I can't handle the truth?? "The Link"... If only I'd have deleted your post without reading it. I would have never seen it. Then, just like Darwin's, "The Link" would be missing. If only I'd have closed my eyes repeatedly as I read your post. Then "The Link" would be a (b)link, and it would be gone in an instant. If only I'd simply said, Get the "L" out of here! as soon as I read your post. Then "The Link" would only be ink. I could grab a quill pen, dip into the ink, write it down, and then throw it away. If only I'd frozen your post and then dropped it into a tall glass. Then "The Link" would be a (p)link. I could email the (p)link to pturner and let her deal with it. To Link, or not to Link? Aye. That is the question. Or if not the question, it's certainly a Temptation. Or maybe it's just my imagination, runnin' away with me.... |
