Caution! Pokemon Go Players
 
This morning I drove to Lake Sumter Landing for a couple of delicious Panera bagels. On Old Mill Run, in the middle of the block by the Eye Clinic, a young mother and her two children all hop off the curb and cross right in front of me without so much as a glance for traffic. All three had their phones held right in front of their faces - so I "assume" they were playing Pokemon Go.

Hopefully, they did look up once they got to the edge of Lake Sumter!

Let's caution our families when they are walking around The Villages playing this neat game.

Oh, the bagels were delicious!

There are people walking into ponds and doors. Traffic is just another stupid decision. Good parenting going on their. Just following what parent is doing.

Yes, there was an accident reported on the news where a driver hit a patrol car. When the police asked what the driver was doing, guess what, he was looking at his phone running Pokémon!!
I am wondering if this is actually a Darwin test posing as a game?
