I believe this is a nationwide sport.  We have some championship teams in NJ.
My wife used to drive through 3 retirement communities on her way to work and
if see was not out of the house by 8:00 AM she would be stuck on the road
behind these teams.  Made for a cranky spouse.

Don't forget the huge sunglasses that they wear.  The ones that go from the 
bottom of the nose to way above the eyebrows, and wrap around their head from
ear to ear.  Always in that lovely shade of green.  What is the deal with
the elderly folks and the gigantic sunglasses?
