Hot Springs Village. It’s an ok
place. It’s not Montpellier, Vt. Or Santa Fe, NM. Or Naples, Fl. Or Kula, HI.
Or even San Diego. Or Navarre Beach, Fl. Or Nashville, TN. It sure beats Chicago and New York and Kansas
City and LA and Denver. And Little Rock and Pine Bluff and Possum. It’s not the
best place for old people. The roads are hard to drive. It gets real dark. The
summer is too hot. There are too many snakes. There are too few good
restaurants. Finding people willing to stay up past 8pm is difficult. You have
to have something medically wrong with you to fit in. And it doesn’t hurt to be
Republican. On the other hand, the scenery is great. It’s a golfers dream come
true. We have plenty of water to swim in, bath in, boat on, or drink. We do
have a few good restaurants. Lots of paths to walk. Clubs of every sort. Card clubs, radio clubs,
acting clubs, social clubs, military clubs, investing clubs, garden clubs,
craft clubs, walking clubs, boating clubs, fishing clubs, dancing clubs. We
even have clubs for people who don’t like clubs. There are lots of interesting
people. Some more interesting than others. Plenty of churches. Mainly
Protestant. Probably has to do with the closed gates. We could use better
leadership. Most POA presidents lately have been military. Not the best place
to find democratic leadership. They don’t like anyone questioning them. We could
use fewer rules. Again, probably the military influence. Autonomy is frowned
on. It wouldn’t hurt to have warmer winters. And more bakeries would be good.
Cranford’s would not be my choice of grocery stores. How about a Whole Foods?
Less crying, more doing would help. And more words allowed for editorials in
