2025: AUGUST

I had one that turned on by pulling the key chain and turned off by pushing it in. This one would not stop! Horrible noise. Wrapped it in a thermal hoodie until I could get outside and smash it with a brick. That didn't work so ended up drowning it in a jug of sudsy water.

Finally weather was cool enough to walk to the post office. Handicap access was cleaned up- not well but what is to be expected. Saw the postal worker as I was taking a photo of their broken door. She told me a crew was there on Wednesday. When she contacted the landlady about the door the landlady says she is not going to replace it. So they will likely replace it and send her a bill. For a postal building it is NOT handicap friendly. People offer to help me. And that is appreciated BUT automatic doors would be nice or at least ones that opened with a "shove" of the butt

The walk back I took note of the road conditions- the State need to get on the stick for rt 28 & 137. Street gutters and drains are clogged with debris.

walk to and back took from 8:37am until almost 10 am. Likely would be less time if I did not have to do the rollator over tree roots on the short cut.

Beautiful day out there.

ISO smooth flat surface. Left for my walk to lottery  8:35am. Using rollator  went the paved way. Had to turn around and come back here because it was too bumpy for my body. So headed for the short cut and lottery using just a cane bur needed my shoulder bag for cough drops, camera, cellphone money lottery slip etc. Took the same amount of time amazingly but not that bumpy torture of the rollator. My first attempt I noticed they patched the road near the puddle that is gone . Then on the trip to lottery saw gum  tin that contains nicotine. AND saw that the State patched and cleaned up 2 gutters (that I noticed) and looks like the post office door was fixed.YAY. Sidewalks are still sandy and slippery. baby steps I guess.
