Wrong way Corrigan!
 
Was just heading home from MVP gym in Spanish Springs when I saw an odd sight. I was driving my car southbound on Morse Blvd towards 466. I see a fellow on a bicycle heading north from just north of 466, in the southbound multi-modal path. I wave to him to indicate he is on the wrong side of the road, but he just smiles and continues on his merry way. I presume that, if he continues riding in that direction, he would eventually encounter other cyclists going the "right" way. Even worse, if someone was making a right turn from one of the several side streets off of Morse, he could be in danger. I thought about dialing 911, but didn't.

What I'm about to post is way worse than the above bicycle instance I described above.

This morning I was driving my car southbound on Morse, going over the bridge into Lake Sumter Landing. As I approached the circle, I was astonished to see an SUV heading toward me in the wrong direction. He/she made a left turn into the oncoming lane toward Bravo Pizza. I lost sight of him/her as the vehicle turned. I didn't hear any crashing noises, so I presume there was nobody coming the other way. Unbelievable!

Oh...as we get more people returning to their homes, we ALL need to watch out for them and for us.

As I went out today, I felt an increase of traffic. I think the birdies are coming home.
