THANKS TO ALL SNOWBIRDS

We should all thank the snowbirds for showing up early this year with their snowpups and sense of humor.
I sometimes read the message board Talk of The Villages, it was fun a little while back, now NOT SO MUCH.

We need the New Yorkers and Jersey crowd to keep it real. Sure, they can sometimes be loud and crude but they keep things light in the beginning.  Sadly a little bit into the season they start suffering from pizza and bagel withdrawal and it becomes frightening.

A word of advice to the other people, the people that only wish they were from NY and NJ-don't go there. Don't tell them about the great pizza in Grand Rapids, don't rave about Publix bagels. If you broach food subjects with the NY/NJ crowd be sure to do it respectfully.  I once sat next to a guy at TwoJays who ordered a latke for the first time in his life-he told me he never had one before-guess what? He still hasn't had one.

Do not make rude comments about the snowpups. The truth is that most of the snowdogs are educated purebreds who have excellent table manners-can you say the same about your grandchildren?

As a final bit of advice, this year has special circumstances, NY Mets are going to the World's Series. As on this writing we don't know what group of losers they are playing.  Don't go there.
