While I agree with your assessment, please don't steer these idiots towards golf carts instead of their motor vehicles!!! You can't cure STUPID regardless of the vehicle that they can't operate effectively.

Not at all, I don't need any affirmation from you. You are the one that started with the didactic post. It's kind of like me trying to give a golf lesson to Tiger Woods, if you get my drift.

I stand by my statement about the DRY TYPE of macular degeneration. I am absolutely, unassailably, and 100% correct MEDICALLY about my statement. I may NOT know many medical facts, but I stand tall among the giants in the medical field on this PARTICULAR situation. Jonas Salk agrees with ME!!!!!!!!!

I try to NOT get any DRIFTS that are allusions to the sport of golf, which I have forever banished from my mind or television. Maybe a sports car DRIFT by a classic Porche negotiating a winding country road. But as a special gift, I will give out a free didactic affirmation that can stop a sliced drive in mid-DRIFT.

Never said you were wrong about dry MD. Your original statement was that nothing could be done for MD except vitamins. But you should realize the statement " I stand tall among the giants in the medical field in this situation" is delusional.

Either delusional or good old-fashioned word play.

Recently we visited in Estero, were they have gate posts just like in T.V., but with a big difference!
That is, they have bright Red LED lights on their gate posts. WOW, so much easier (100 x's) to
see when the gate posts are up/down, both in daylight and after dark.
Seems like that would be a great thing to do in T.V., can't believe it would not be that costly.
Not sure how to try to get this done in T.V.??
At over $200.00 charges to repair them, someone is making great money $$$$$.

Actually, it relates perfectly! Older people have vision problems like Macular which makes it difficult for them to see the gate poles in low light conditions. And the gates need to be painted optic yellow and have lights on them. Or maybe remove the gates and have timed red lights controlling the flow of traffic.
........The vision problems of older Villagers is EXTREMELY pertinent to the current thread!

People today laughing about Global Warming and the associated cause (IC engine pollutants) are NOT having consideration for the FUTURE generations that will suffer because of today's generation of Climate DENIERS. We all have seen the time-lapse photos of the DISAPPEARING glaciers. Warming is undeniable!
