I am guessing that they do not want to return home on a airplane and that they are reluctant to drive with an overnight due to the risk of being infected. I do know the family to be hardworking, rule followers, kind and polite....and Missy is one of the best cooks I have ever met, except for her dad who bakes awesome loaves of bread. Whole group is salt of the earth.

Why are there so many angry, me first, get out of my face people here in TV. I had been told this is one of the friendliest places in Florida. I do love it here, but after 8 years of running into people with Diane’s kind of attitude I will never tell anyone this is a really friendly place.

Possibly a good reply would be... sorry that you had to hear that kids but we were (and I'm assuming here but I'll bet I'm correct) in the wrong walking on the wrong side, blocking the entire path and not giving her a way around.

I've never been hit by a bike that was doing 20 but I did hit a jaywalker once at about that speed. Hurt him a lot more than it hurt me. A lot more.

And to DianeM who said "I am polite but if I do swear, I’m not looking around first."... will you marry me. lol

Yes they are but, as my father used to tell us kids, "The use of profanity is a feeble attempt by a weak mind to Express itself forcefully." Enough said!

They are not here on vacation.

this is a multi modal pathway, not a road or a street. You do not have to walk into the traffic and you do not have to walk in a single file. First words are multi modal, not cart, bike, roller blades or anything else. It also does not say anything about a transportation street, road, boulevard, alley or anything near. It is for multi, which for you who do not understand means many with no limit to the means of movement. If she wanted to pass and did not have room, wait until you have room and pass.

If it had been me, my ugly side might have come out and she would have accidently fallen off her bike!!!!

There are a lot of good people who ride bikes here and they for the most part are easy going nice folks.
BUT There are a number of people with an
I GOT MY RIGHTS ATTITUDES
IF you ask them where they come from more often than not you’ll hear, New York. Before anybody from NY, Long Island or NJ metro areas gets their pantries in a twist just remember folks they cannot help it without a significant emotional event to change their rude, crude and socially unacceptable behaviors.
They are very easy to spot
Actions speak almost as loudly as their words.
