Golf Carts

Everyday I find something that requires the time I am supposed to be doing something else. Today, it was one of the golf carts. Collectively, our little brood, here in the compound, has four carts. I don’t own a cart although there is always one in my garage. Our original cart doesn’t have lights and so today I chased down light kits and services available.

The local cart place has a kit at a reasonable price, but the labor to install is almost the cost of the kit. The guy at the shop said it takes about an hour for him to install the kit. He said it would take me about a week. The tricky part is cutting holes in the body of the cart. Even he confessed that he had bought a new body for a customer’s cart after the installation went all wrong.

It seems to me that we should do away with golf carts. In fact, we should do away with all mechanical modes of transportation. That would include cars, trucks, trains, planes and bicycles. We should just go with horses. You don’t have to buy parts for horses. And, you can park them very easily.

However, with seven billion people in the world, if everyone had a horse, there might be a pollution problem.

Talk about being up to your neck in it.
