Not to provoke a tête-à-tête with you but, I didn't say "only pick the first response"

Just ignore these idiots, and take note who they are. You'll see them again. Cheers!

Yes, for polo was the intent. If anyone disagrees with another’s opinion they are smarmy. How precious are some opinions and others unworthy but that is how entitlement works. It’s private property, period.

I just wish it was evenly distributed. I am not one to complain because a group gets to do their thing. I complain that people can't do their thing. Don't die trying not to get the virus. It is your duty to protect yourself, not anyone err elses duty to protect you. Stop looking for others to do for you what you can do for yourself. Germaphobics, get over yourselves. Not my job to keep you from catching something, its on you.

So, would it be okay to ride horses all over the ball diamonds?

When I read the comments on this forum, at times, I have to wonder how TV garnered the reputation as America's friendliest home town.

This comment does not discuss the subject at all which pertains to the use of the private polo fields.

I've been walking around the polo fields almost every morning since the last week in April. All the gates are open, kite flyers are there now as well as the Eflyers with numerous grounds keepers and walkers.
