You beat me to it. Was going to say that.

Most of the stuff disappears when the maintenance crews mow the areas next to the paths; I don't know if they actually pick the litter up or if it just gets pulverized by the mower blades. But in any case, The Villages is a beautiful place. I would think that the pride alone in being able to live in such surroundings would motivate people not to litter.

I've seen the people operating the mowers pick up the trash.

There are many filthy “pigs” living amongst us; I can only imaging what their homes look like.

They never foul their own nest

Both of these people are slobs littering in our community as well as any other that purposely litters. If I see you again (or any other ) I will follow you, take pictures of you and where you live, and post it on any and all social media sites I can for all to see so they will know what you are.

I live here, this is my community. Willing to bet most of us don't want any littering slobs here. So, for all that agree with me, keep an eye out and speak up about it.

For those whom are the slobs, leave. most of us don't want you here. If you want to live in a dumpy place, go there. Don't bring your bad habits here.

If not for your letter, I would have been blaming the visiting grandkids. I am sure they do their share but the adults who live here? How sad it that! In the past, I have done more than just shake my head. I confront people - and if anytime I were to see something like this, they'll get my full attention. Others should do the same with these slobs.
