D. I'm SOOOOOOOO glad you're the one who said that!!!! Thanks for listening and remembering the many small town horror stories I've shared. There's no infrastructure here, there is no grocery delivery, there is no accommodation. My city rep berated me for expecting the city to pick up recycling weekly for free. I was paying $25 a month for garbage pick up, in addition to paying for other people's children to be educated through my ever increasing property taxes. When i was in the nursing home, my car, in my private driveway was spotted without license plates, which i had friends take off the car to save $, and ticketed. It was visible because i only have a carport, not a garage. So for five years i've had to pay for car i can't drive. I must a maintain the sidewalk that i don't own, the grass that i cannot have a handicapped parking sign in front of, so i can get in and out of my house on those far occasions when i pay $60 to go 1 mile to the doctors!!! This is a small town -- 10,842 people. This the HQ of an old Fortune 500 company the median age is 37.5. I miss bagels and lox, hammantaschen, sfogiatelle, falafels, real sushi, rugelach…. YEs, everyone was friendly when i was able bodied, but there are incursions, and insults and indifference from all and sundry since i've been paralyzed. Win the lottery Dalton -buy a ticket, just one and think of me and when you win, just one of your 392 millions will enable me to walk again and be free.
