Since we have to move again very soon, we went on an expedition this weekend to scout the area - near Ocala Florida. (From the Ocala Wikipedia entry - The surrounding farms are famous for their thoroughbred horses, in terrain similar to Kentucky bluegrass. Ocala is also known for nearby Silver Springs, Florida, site of one of the largest artesian spring formations in the world and one of the earliest tourist attractions in Florida).
The area where we'll be moving is very very cute and charming - a large retirement community. The little 'main street' (actually an outdoor shopping center) looks like something Disney might make, and maybe they did - it is Florida after all. All these cheerful old folks were zipping around in golf carts - there were golf carts everywhere, and there were even parking lots just for the golf carts.
There many worse places to live - hey, I'll bet the hospitals are top notch. I might have to put my name on the waiting list for one of these pimped out rides.
LOl- somehow I just can't picture you and Cin tooling down main street in one of those- no matter HOW pimped out it was. You're a bit ahead of yourself in that arena,MC. Not for another 40 or so years, I would say.....
ReplyDeleteOoh..golf carts. Way cool and so "in".
ReplyDeleteRepeat after me: "You crazy kids." Say that and you'll fit right in. Or not.
ReplyDeleteJust make sure your pimped-out golf cart has that lowrider hydraulic suspension thing. That'd give the other oldsters heart attacks at the traffic lights.
ReplyDeletei can't believe you need to move again this soon--that just isn't right . . . . makes me want to stamp my foot!
