UNTIL some stupid, ignorant Villager lifted his granddaughter up onto the back of one of those buffalo to get a picture. Luckily the little girl was okay but because of his stupidity and possible liability, the buffalo were taken away.
The Buffalo were awesome. They were also in the field where Mission Hills is now. There were double fences if memory serves

Hmmmm, wouldn't it be stranger to see a golf cart NOT being driven by a clown?

Woman holding a poop sack under back end of her dog hoping dog did business directly into the sack. Maybe she didn't like the squishy feel of picking it off the ground?

I've seen things kind of like that as well. My parents always said that maybe that's why they could afford the nicer things. They saved when they could?

In Ireland, they drive the opposite direction than what we do on a round-about. I was driving in Ireland and I had to be extremely careful to remember to go the opposite way than what we do here. My husband and I saw someone going the wrong way here and figured they were from Europe. We just let them go around the wrong way as there was no traffic at that time. Remember people from Europe drive on the other side of the road than what we do. I agree that the person might not be drunk, but confused.

People in Europe drive on the very same side of the road that we do.

UK, Ireland, Australia, St Thomas, and most all British protectorates except Gibraltar drive on the opposite side from us.

One of the craziest things I didn't see, thankfully, was my DIY husband's version of making a car act like a truck when he bought a BBQ grill and patio set from Lowe's and moved it to our new house 13 years ago. But there was not a lot of traffic then.

Don't worry about Brits and Irish, we know how to navigate roundabouts.
Unless we are pi55ed of course, then all bets are off!
