Florida Ice


At noon there was a ring around the sun directly over the guest pool, spooked the sunbathers! The photo is 5pm.
Wiki - The ring around the sun or moon is caused by ice crystals within thin cirrus clouds. The refraction causes light to shine into a ring. Cirrus clouds are generally the first layer of clouds that are seen as a storm system approaches.
Unfortunately, also - Cirrus clouds not associated with a storm system will produce the ring also. In these cases precipitation may not occur.
Someone pls do a rain dance.

Good info Elaine, I was in the pool and saw the ring but I thought it was the mother ship coming to CV, to take us home.

At the recent Delegate Assembly more misinformation was disseminated by the “President” of the “Not for Profit” pro-active Golf course (non-UCO) committee. So what else is new? Please Mr. Shapkin, don’t let the facts interrupt your personal vendetta against the owner of the Golf Course.
1. The prior administration was supporting the developers “Horton” BUNK!!
2. This Committee altruistically represents the Village in this fight and will be victorious. BUNK!!
3. He will come to the Delegate Assembly to ask for our help if he needs us.
4. No one other than the “select committee” may attend any meetings. This twelve-member self-appointed DICTATORSHIP (committee) is all-powerful and therefore may (in exclusively their opinion) represent all 12 to 14,000 residents. Those 12 should be named, so legal responsibility may rest with each and every one of them. Why not tell us who you are, and your qualifications. Why do you believe you’re more intelligent than all the rest of us? What have you to HIDE?

It seems very similar to the prior attempts to present a plan to the Village, delay, deny, ignore and fail to allow all interested parties to hear just what is being offered. Why? Are you afraid of the view of the residents that YOU ARE WASTING YOUR TIME AND OURS? Perhaps because they want to control the information stream and corrupt the facts so you will support their view?

Some of the residents will not take a position; many will refuse to spend UCO’s money to stop something we have not been included in by this pro-active committee. Some may believe this committee should be open to our attending just to permit a clear picture of both sides enabling an informed decision.

Stand-by, and hold onto your wallets. No one should be surprised when you notice T H E I R hand in our pockets seeking money for the inevitable fight.

Just where is our fearless L E A D E R ?? Hiding………………………………………….. You betcha!! So what else is new!


Not on this damn fool committee – a-non-y-muse
