You can tell that Pandemic travel starved snowbirds are starting to come back, I've seen 3 near missed in the last 2 days.

Please wear a mask when navigating a roundabout.
It hides screaming and bad language

Simple, all bad things have to be attributed to someone. So if you are not a Snowbird….

Snowbird usually don’t have a Florida plate, but guess one always has to blame someone. If all the snowbirds would come full time, then one could complain year round about how all the full time residents don’t have any idea how to navigate any road in TV.

Since most of our friends have northern homes, and enjoy the fall colors, sometimes the snow, we won’t see them until Thanksgiving. So guessing it was any of them, in the roundabout.

Thursday another crash in roundabout, drinking and driving is so rewarding.
A Villager was arrested on a drunk driving charge after crashing his Lexus in a roundabout.
