Shirley can't see

Day 182
​Wildwood FL

Life on the road has a unique set of challenges. For example, Shirley's windshield washer pump recently stopped working. She's 20 years old and things break. That's just the way it is. Pile on 20 seasons of Chicago winters and a healthy dose of road salt, you get a jeep that has a little rust. Consider it the same as scars and freckles. She's got character. That character doesn't do us any good when the windshield is covered in mud/water or dribbles of sand juice from the kayaks. Time to fix it.
I know the video sucked. It's like I said; talking to a gopro is really weird. It's something I have to adapt to and get better at. I'm still learning the video editing software also. Eventually things will get better and we will have more stuff on here about our adventures over the next few months. For now we still need to take care of normal things in life like grocery shopping.

Stopping at a Publix in the town of The Villages, we see a peculiar sight. Golf carts litter the parking lots and surrounding streets. Upon further investigation we find out why. There are literally thousands of homes within retirement communities in this area. I understand why retirees want to be around each other. It makes total sense. One can't help but look at the fact it is still discrimination. No matter how you slice it, Katie and I are denied places to stay or buy because we are too young. It's a weird thing being told on the phone "Oh I'm sorry. We have room for your RV but you're not old enough to come here". What's really messed up is that there are laws on the books that make this perfectly legal. Touche' old people... Touche.
