We have a golf cart sales and service facility in our community (plus a really excellent RV sales and service facility). The owner of the cart sales gets a lot of "lightly used" electric carts from the Villages. That community being so large, they can't get from end to end with the electric ones...they lose battery power. Most of the "Village People" have gas carts for that reason, ...so we were told by friends there. We have a few gas carts in our community (and man are they noisy 😬), but most are electric. We are an only 3000 acre community. Edited February 2, 2021 by island lady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am booked in to the ward for 11.15am tomorrow and will have a local anaesthetic. I've just rang and they said bring an overnight bag but the nurse said usually the consultant will send you home when he does his round later. Good luck with your surgery, Graham. Hope the healing goes fast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be out there shoveling soon. Getting our cars (in the driveway) cleaned off might be the hardest part... very little room to negotiate with.... It is beautiful, however. ❄️ All done my driveway and front walk. Thank god for snowblowers. The worst part is the end of the driveway from the snow plows. That was almost up to my thighs. Lucky enough 2 cars are in garage and the 3rd one I drive in the winter I pulled into street to clean off and driveway was cleared. Time for a hot shower and coffee. Be safe and take your time, no rush to shovel. Yes, still snowing here too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am scheduled for the second dose of Covid vaccine Wednesday .They are not rescheduling. That's absurd. I've seen on TV that NY is at standstill and I imagine the medical staff or whoever are doing the vaccinations cannot get to work too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've feared for him from yesterday, when he was hospitalized.😢 Thanks Dani it is very sad news. His family took him to Barbados before Xmas and for the last 6 weeks he has had pneumonia. He could not have the vaccine because of his pneumonia mediation. He was taken to hospital a couple of days ago but caught Covid19 there. His family were at his bedside with him.

Don't know which of the restaurants will be back in business after being closed for such prolonged periods of time. Hope things get better soon, and you guys can open back up soon! What amazes me, is that so many people in the US still think the virus is fake or overhyped, and don’t realize it’s a global thing, impacting billions! I have friends around the world, and they are definitely impacted! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it is not "overhyped" or "fake". One third of the Covid's total death toll was in January... It seems that now we're in the "crab like stage" -- one step forward (huge roll out of vaccines) and 2 steps backward -- the "British" mutant and its new "sub-mutant" are so virulent and contagious, that, on one hand we see much less 60+ who are sick, and much more under 60. In the end, the huge amount of already vaccinated people doesn't "compensate" for the huge amount of newest sick..... The medical experts are, for the 1st time, at a loss -- prolonging the already 6 weeks long lock down is disastrous for the economy and the kids who stay at home, or taking the chance with the "British" mutants which spread like fire.... Bleak. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
