After our personal Uber XL driver, Myrvold drops us off at the mailbox, each of us drive one vehicle back. Maybe hit the Richmond chip and putt on the way back. I play in sandals and socks as my gout is still pretty painful. Only two toes are swollen now so it's manageable. It takes a few minutes even without the golf as we made sure to buy the house furthest from the mailboxes to reduce traffic and prying eyes into our birdcage. But it's The Villages, we have time!!!

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to answer that very important question. I appreciate the opportunity to address the topic and clarify any confusion there may be.
Does anyone else have any further questions?
I have been watching CSPAN too much.

That wasn't the question. Read the post before you post a response.

Default keys

Never place a tag on your keys with your address, use your 1st name and perhaps the 1st letter of your last name.

Door can’t be locked because keys are inside the door!
