Coots with scoots, huh?

Seriously, this is a retirement area, and between blind, overmedicated car drivers, and wheezergeezers on their Medicare-purchased scooters, going driving in my truck resembles being in a Demolition Derby.

We moved from Pinellas County in 1997, to Citrus County. Lived in Seminole, near Madeira Beach.

Seems it wasn't but every two or three days we would read of a "seinor citizen", flooring the gas pedal, while in gear, and driving through some building or other stationary object.

These "scooter" folks seem to get that mall area mentality. You know, "everyone must stop for me" attitude.

The fact is, we that drive two tons of metal around the streets, need to be very watchful for those little scooters. And the kids, and the squirrels, and the dogs, and the ...

Hell, at 65, I'm getting close to the age when the wife will send me to the store and I won't be able to remember where I am, what I'm doing, or how to get back to wherever I came from.

Just can't wait! ;)
