1. Golf carts are second vehicles for many down here

They pick up mail, go to friends, medical appointments, stores. For the life of me, I can’t believe there would be any negative look on this. They are environmentally friendly. Rather everyone have two pollution causing cars? Plus they are cheaper the purchasing a second car.

3. Try to get the vaccine if you live in a city, not a retirement community.

That was my point. Not the golf carts. Did you read the article?

No Publix near me offers the vaccine. Only surrounding red counties have it. They do have a pretty tight grip on grocery shopping in Florida.

is not the only game in my town (St. Petersburg). I avoid them like the plague because of their politics. Very telling that they only opened stores in red counties for vaccines. Years back they lost a huge lawsuit brought by women. Publix sucks.
