I send my wife out to stop the traffic if she is with me or turn right if alone.

A traffic light might be nice but I haven't seen many of those things down in TV.

We haven't seen any traffic lights alone Morse and Buena Vista (except where they cross 466 or 466A), but we saw a couple along Canal St where it crosses Odell and Bonita.

I agree traffic lights would help along Hillsborough and Pinellas. Before we moved down here, I looked at Google maps a lot and noticed three cars backed up on Warnock trying to turn left on Hillsborough. We also saw several cars at the intersection of Pinellas and Charlotte, so it looked like that would be a tough intersection as well.

That is why we are renting in Osceola Hills. The pools are inside our neighborhood and, since there is a roundabout where Deskin enters Morse, it is easy to go either north or south on Morse.

I guess we can all decide what is important to us. We just do not like turning left onto a 4-lane road without a traffic light or roundabout to help us.

While playing, a siren could be heard in the distance.

One of the guys in the groups stated "another tee time available at Palmer."

I wasn't sure what he meant, but when told, I wasn't amused.

The very reason why I'll be retiring at 62

I totally get it! My sister and I who are in different states, are always sending notes back and forth regarding places for sale in the Villages. "Somebody is taking a bath on this one", "This one won't last" or "You won't believe the decorating in this one".

It's like a hobby! Just one of the many things I do as a Villager.

Naw.....you are pulling on our collective legs. You can't suddenly have "got religion" and stopped wanting to tweak things.

once you find the location on the map you can get googe maps to go to the earth view. I use it quite a bit to see what a neighborhood actually looks like from ground level. He probably saw the cars lined up for the left turn if it has a left turn lane.

How did I miss that!

So many thoughts to share-
First as mom used to say-MAN PLANS AND GOD LAUGHS.
If, I recall if you choose to take social security at 62 compared to 65, it is about 30% less for life. Increases are also a percentage of what you are getting.
Medical insurance will cost you about 12,000 for two people until you reach 65.
We all need to decide, how much do I need to have saved to??????
All you need to know is exactly when you will die, exactly when your wife or? will die. Rate of inflation for the next 40 years or so. Rate of inflation for medical care. Investment returns for the next 40 years. Money you plan or do not plan on leaving for your heirs. WHAT OUR GOVERNMENT WILL DO-NOT THIS YEAR BUT OVER THE NEXT 40 YEARS.
OH AND ALL THE THINGS I'M SURE I DID NOT MENTION-THEN YOU CAN KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU CAN AND SHOULD DO.
