If I present it to her as a way to lose some weight and save the district some money, I think that might seal the deal. I just hope she can run over 20 MPH.
You are a hoot.

Make that a hoot and a half. Funny and smart and helpful too. He is the first chicken I am a fan of.

Did I just dangle a part of speech?

A participle to be precise! Oh oh to be or not to be?

I have noticed a lot of approaching carts pulling off the path to their right. They must be enjoying the beautiful evenings in TV. And they seem more friendly than others; they usually wave frantically towards me as I pass. I wave back. It's nice here.

Talking Honest Are you Serious

Here is a CDD 8 deciding to enhance their community with some painting and because they are NOT conforming to some other "Village Management Edicts" they are classified as "GOING ROGUE". You really have to get a life. If some group decides to paint some cement on the side of a cart path it does it qualify to call them rogue and give them eternal damnation. With all that is going on in the world is this really something that deserves such dedicated attention and name calling. Lets thank them for thinking independently and rewarding them with praise for not being sheep and following the flock. Honest are you really serious?

I am sure, that just like all of us, you knew this was a CDD form of government and it isn't like a municipality that is more familiar back home.


It has it's plusses and minuses depending on how you look at things but many of us like that the control is done by someone other than the residents.


I am a huge fan of deed restrictions and also the care and consideration put into the decisions made by Janet Tutt and the people she works for.


They just keep improving this wonderful place. I see no reason to ignore them or " overthrow" them. They keep this place nice and give us much more than anyone could expect for the money.


Going rogue sounds like an accurate description to me of ignoring a system that works.

Question You've Got to be Kidding

You can't be serious! There is a difference in being a "fan" of someone and being fanatical. Judging thqt support for the Developer and then whoever he appoints is balanced logic is kind of off the charts. There is a difference in being objective and blind following. Of course we all love The Villages but are balanced in our considerations of what is good and what is not. It is really a mystery that anyone could blindly follow anyone with dedication that does not consider right from wrong. The shame of this kind of logic is that it makes all decisions questionable. There are some things the Developer has done outside of the Villages that were not only wrong by not legal. How is that justified and right?
That does not make him a bad person but does raise questions regarding some of his judgement.

Are you talking about the moose shot on his property out west?


Some people blindly follow the group who always seems to be mad at the developer. I will be mad at him too, or them now, when they really screw up.


It is just as foolish to be at one end as the other. Moderation is the key. There are far more things right here than any place I have lived. Give the wealthy devil his due. And I think class envy is at the root of a lot of nastiness at the developer and the fact that the Morses support the Republican Party.

And I thought the lateral arabesques, line drives to left field and the where the "h" did that come from was limited to the political forum!

I was also wondering what portion of left field that came out of.
