I went to an outdoor concert near my house this past weekend. It was in a part of my neighborhood known for quaint streets, little specialty chocolate shops, weekend buffets. It’s the place with the butcher shop that tried to shame me for buying the veal that they themselves were selling me.
This was my first time trying to park there at night, and it was made more difficult because I kept pulling into Mini Cooper-sized spaces only to find them marked “Golf cart only.”
And the golf carts were everywhere. Not on the highways, of course, but on 40 mph roads, golf carts packed with young people. I thought golf carts were vehicles for the elderly. (But why would I think that? Why would elderly people want to drive a vehicle in which a minor accident means certain death?)
And why would the young people want to tool around in golf carts? Are there no open-bottle laws for golf carts? Can you drive it inside a building and directly up to the bar? Is it easier to clean barf out of a golf cart?
I don’t get it at all. I’ll have to ask the Young People at Work.
