Me too! I told ours he had to go in the kiddie pool.
He is turning 30 this Summer but I had fun while it lasted.

They ask you: "So, how hot does it really get here in the summer?"
and
They don't automatically know where every restroom in every restaurant is located.

Lots of cars on Buena Vista and Morse. The roundabouts filled up, golf carts travelling to and fro. Can't get those few groceries needed. Why? Cause it's 9:05 PM and everything in the "bubble" closes.

OK - I have to admit that was me over two years ago! I could not believe they would name a grocery store "Pube-lix".

They are shocked while they are sitting on a country club patio quietly enjoying a drink or a meal when someone sits down near, them, lights up a smoke, and is allowed to do so there!
