Where has my life gone?

The complete ramblings of a small town girl.

Doing the happy dance!!!!

What did you say Martha???
The teeny, tiny town I live in is located directly next to a town full of snowbirds. For those who don't know what a snowbird is.

Snowbird: Cranky, Old People who can no longer drive. They live up North during the summer months and during the fall and winter they move to Florida to irritate the crap out of Floridians.

Snowbirds suck. They drive slow in the left lane with their blinker on. They crowd up the doctors offices so that when you are sick you can not get an appointment. They walk down the middle of the aisle in Wal-Mart(thankfully they don't seem to shop at Target though). It takes three times as long to get your prescription filled, because they are there getting all 20 of theirs filled. Noise level in general goes up 20 decibels because they all wear hearing aids and can't hear each other and converse by yelling everything.

Old People Fleeing!
But this is a glorious time of year. This is the time of the year when they are going home. Oh yes, the roads will be clogged for the next few weeks with old people wearing wrap around sunglasses and hearing aids, driving 25' Motorhomes with cars being towed behind them. But I will happily dodge them as they head out of town. The noise level already returning to a normal decibel as I drive to the doctors office.
