Quick 4 day visit.
 

Only here for a quick weekend but had a good time. A couple nights a Lake Sumter, craft fair, nice afternoon at Sawgrass for some coffee and a cookie, great brunch at Glenview, nice dinner at the Back Porch. Fun filled packed weekend. A few observations that many talk about, all happening today. On a golf cart rotary and almost got t-boned by another cart not realizing they had to yield, a car pulling into the golf cart lane where I was on the right to take a left hand turn, a truck speeding by only to take a right just in front of me. As if these were not enough, the granddaddy of them all, a grandmother letting her 6 and 4 year olds drive the golf cart.

On the right to make a left hand turn?

Think that is strange, a SIX and FOUR year old able to reach the gas and break peddles of a golf cart.. guess they are a long taller than my grands...LOL ! Think we are being put on here ? Been here a long time, and I'm not sure what a golf cart "rotary" even is ? Is it like the auto round a bouts ? Wait until those visiting have an up close and personal encounter with the landscape and lawn care people with the trailers full of equipment who just routinely allow their trailers to "ride" in the golf cart lanes and think nothing of it. When we first moved to the V's, there were signs that warned: you are entering a golf cart community, golf carts have the right of way. Ho Ho Ho, that was short lived. Be alert, stay alive folks.

There may be one on the way to Sawgrass, near the Turnpike.

I can think of several golf cart rotaries:

** At the intersection of Morse Blvd, Paige Pl and El Camino Real -- worst design ever!!!

** Southeast of the CR 466 and Laurel Manor Dr intersection

** West of the CR 44A and Buena Vista Blvd car rotary

** At the east end of the Water Lilly golf cart bridge

Don't know what cart rotary is either. If anyone happens to have a pic feel free to post. No need to go out of your way, I'll figure it out, just curious.

Check post #5....................

-Here's some

Okay that's right we have one of those, the tri-path, on the way to Brownwood.

Happens all the time. A miss is as good as a mile, right?

Welcome to The Villages.

Rotary. I like it. Sounds better than "round-a-bout". More elegant. More British. I say, Buffy, old girl, let us go for a whirl around the rotary, what? Pip pip, and all that.

Dazed and confused
 

good morrrrning viet, no villages.

If you learn one thing from your visit - drive defensively in that golf cart - watch every other cart and car and take nothing for granted. Do not assume that these vehicles, especially cars won't run you over so keep your distance. Don't drive like you own the road, because in a cart you do not!!!
