You know Ken. I know you to be in your fifties and at that time in my life I didn't know that age prejudice existed. Now I know about it and it is indeed strange and unwarranted.

I personally think when a person lives here for a period of time they soon discover that age is relative and literally just a number.

Knowing the ages by village might be of interest to some. However the usefulness may approach that of fine tuning measuring a watermelon with a micrometer!!!

There are 60 year olds that look, live and act as though much, much older.....for varied and usually obvious reasons.

There are 80+ year olds that look, live and act more like 55+......for varied and usually obvious reasons.

Unless one lives here any attempting to categorize about one or another's age is nothing more than intellectualizing.

You are correct 'from village to village', but I have to disagree as you look at groups of villages. Look at how the types of amenities have changed from the north to the south. You see changes in the country club restaurants. Have they not changed or closed some of the CC restaurants in the northern areas. Demographics and lifestyle is changing.

THE VILLAGES are stated to be 32.1 sq miles and probably twice that with the new land acquisitions. The Villages will not remain a homogeneous community that it once was and the reason is not ageism, but economics.

I do apologize for calling you 'Dude'.
