I knew the meaning Mrs. Belcher. I was paying attention in your class.

I didn't know the correct usage, probably because I didn't pay attention to Mrs. Traphagen in 10th grade English.

Well you are in the minority. Acording to a CBS report back in May of 2011 there were over 50,000 golf carts in the Villages and only 16,000 regular golfers. I'm sure that the number is much more than that now.

For the life of me, I cannot understand why someone would buy a retirement home in a community that is advertised as a "golf cart community", has over 90 miles of cart paths and think that it is strange that so many people prefer golf carts.

The golf cart accessibility is one of the main reasons that I live here. I really try to avoid taking my car unless absolutely necessary. I much prefer the open air and the fun of riding in my cart.Sometimes I just take the cart for a ride because I enjoy it.

Just because it's a "golf cart community" where golf carts are welcome doesn't exactly explain why everyone seems to be so in love with them. Obviously if you're a golfer it makes great sense. To me, it makes none.

But our likes & dislikes don't exactly fit with the majority of people here. We're also here for different reasons than most people who come to the TV area. So I guess in many ways I'm trying to learn about & understand the "culture" which for the most part I do not.

All I can say is that it’s amazing how our members can take a simple straightforward discussion off into the most bizarre directions. It’s like trying to record a single discussion in the middle of a cocktail party.

This affects Stonecrest residents too, but we can add an automatic gate elsewhere that gets us into the parking lots on the other side of Aldi’s if we get permission like we did from Wal-Mart.

The path is now open. Actually the day they were installing it we talked to the guy. He recieved a phone call while about 6 carts were waiting. He said "Good news, We are taking it down. It's now open for all!
