I did Google it and did find an article about the crash. Sad all around .


They have changed Findlaw significantly since I was on there around 2002 to 2007. I hardly ever go on it now since getting on Talk of the Villages.
I did use my actual birthday 2-24 and my number 613 in a 17 week study on stress on the unemployed at the University of California San Francisco Health Sciences Campus in late 1992-1993 .

The Findlaw troll also started using the numbers 224 and 613.

But I was amazed that such things are allowed.
I agree that that certain news site goes way out of bounds in details. Unnecessary details, poor writing, spelling, and grammar. No journalism experience. However, I don't subscribe to the 'Daily' paper because it is way too full of fluff, ads, home listings, etc. I
would not have hours a day to skim it. Other than the TV news (and their websites), that 'certain news site' provides me with a lot of local info I wouldn't hear of otherwise. There are not many sources here for local news stories. I like to stay informed of crimes, developments, upcoming public works activities, etc. For instance, today noted upcoming plans for road work in The Villages that I wouldn't have known about, unless I resorted to reading town websites. The graphic details ruin the news site you mentioned, but I can scroll by.

Seeing the support for residents only, and not wishing to outstay any small welcome, it would seem now is as good a time as any, for me to bow out.
It has been fun over the years.
Byeeee.
