Cart-carnage . . .


Dear you:

The first world tour for POTUS is over.  But not really.  This golf cart incident bothers me only a little bit; however, this bit is part of a continuing BIG LEAGUE state of bafflement.

Sir, can you not walk?  Get on the ground like other leaders.  Try it.  

I don't have an agenda against golf carts.  Why would I?  But this people-mover just keeps popping up in my life.  Right here in Inlet Beach, FL, the cartage carnage was on as every visitor and/or resident seemed unable to use his/her legs to travel the hundred or so feet to the beach.  Everywhere, these little carts enabling the out-of-body viewing experience.  It seems riders want to "see" and not "feel".  Disembodied eyes and mouths.  

Yet another moment of car-culture existence, extended into leisure.  

Dear neighbors and visitors:  Please hit the ground.  Move.  Feel it.  Once you feel it, I think you (we) might be viscerally connected to where you (we) are and why you (we) need to care.

Post-Memorial Day, I memorialize mobility in the flesh.

Move.

Love,
Joyce
