Sounds like a good idea. My husband's motto: Keep the traffic flowing.

One of the joys of growing older, to me, is not to be in a hurry. I love seeing people being friendly with each other. There is much too much unkindness in the world. I even enjoy going to Publix when it is crowded. I love smiling at people and just being able to relax and enjoy my wonderful life. NONE of these little irritations bother me.

And, along with being prepared to place an order before arriving at the clerk, we should remember the purchases at Lowes, Target, Publix etc are not free. Anticipate paying for it by at least having credit card/check book out and ready, not start digging for it when apparently surprised by the fact that the stuff is not free.. Ideally the check would be completed save the amount.

Don't get me wrong, this is a relatively small irritant compared with driving in the roundabouts. I don't think I can use the word "moron" on this forum, so I won't.

On a separate post, I'll offer my view of oblivious pedestrians who saunter out in traffic with zero regard to the on coming traffic. But, that's another story.

All in, we love living in The Villages.
