I don't have an air horn but I turn up my tunes to drown them out.

Put a bunch of rats in a small cage they will fight each other to the death.Not saying people are rats. Used to do that for entertainment on the farm.

The thing that really concerns me is the sheer ignorance that really does abound in TV. For some reason or other I got the impression that we were reasonably nice people, but unfortunately there is a huge slice of the population here who are not nice at all. They are rude, abusive and almost out of control. If any of you ever have to travel through the gate onto 101 passing the big white church on the corner, do you remember when a group of people took exception to the STOP signs which were painted on the posts at the driveways into and out of the church? Remember that every day TV would paint the STOP sign on the post and the "night" people would come along and paint over it, this happened night after night. Finally, TV had to put small metal plates on the posts which are screwed on and I even think they painted over them one night. This type of crazy thinking is far more prevalent than one would believe, it is beyond my comprehension.

I was under the impression the majority of us came here to get out of the rat race and to spend our retirement years living in the peace and quiet of this beautiful community - seems I was wrong.

I don't think it is a very large percentage of The Villages population that falls into this category but their actions have a large impact on the rest of us. I am fortunate that I have not been affected by cart rage since I have been here. I have however been almost nailed by drunks in carts.

After reading this, I am thinking about starting "Tough Men Contests" in the Town Squares. Find out who the toughest old fart is in The Villages!

IMHO.
If anyone thinks of that as entertainment.....
.....they perhaps should simply increase their meds.

In TN everybody waves to you... they don't give you the one finger solute. I lived in the NE for a bit and know people can get pretty testy there. Not all but some are in a big hurry all the time. On the other side some retired people will drive in the left land at any speed they choose and that is annoying too. If someone wants to get by I just move over and let them and would expect the same from others.

My wife stated...
...............the truth be told...
.....Put 2 MALE Rats in the cage to obtain the observed result.
.....Put 2 FEMALE Rats in the cage and together they would have
figured out how to escape.

In My Humble Opinion...
....................that "Trophy-Chick" of mine is simply Brilliant !!!
