…And into the swampy morning. Ugh!!!! Is it ever HOT and WET and STICKY out there!
But we managed to make a circumambulation of the garden spot that is our neighborhood.
Walked by SDXB’s old house. The city GAVE it to a woman who was dispossessed of her own home by construction of an airport runway. As you might imagine, she seems kinda uncomfortable here in Upper Middle America: basically she hides inside her house. Ring the doorbell, and she won’t come out.
She will, however, purloin any packages that Amazon leaves there mistakenly. The street number is the same as mine, AND the road name is almost identical: Lane instead of Way. Even when I enter an extra line in my address for Amazon, reading “WAY, NOT LANE!” they still deliver things to her place.
Guess what I should do is have Amazon purchases delivered to my son’s house. But…what would be the point of that? If I have to drive to his place to buy something, I might as well just walk across Main Drag West to buy it.
{sigh} Sure do wish SDXB were still living here in the ’Hood. He moved to Sun City, where he’s living (I think…some question about that) happily ever after. He quickly picked up a new girlfriend out there…meaning she’s the one who has to take care of him in what apparently is his final illness.
I’ve lived in Sun City. Hated it! Wouldn’t go back there on a bet. Not if you paid me!
- The jet engine racket from nearby Luke Air Force Base defies belief.
- So does the level of Hate among the locals.
- At the time I was there, they didn’t have a decent grocery store. If frozen crap and junk food appealed, you were fine. But if you wanted fresh veggies and meat: fuggedaboudit.
- It’s a long, LONG way from where my son lives. I’d hardly ever see him if I moved out there.
- The houses are cheaply built. You, too, can air-condition the Great Outdoors!
The ‘Hood is centrally located, on the high end of the upscale North Central section of lovely uptown Phoenix, bordered on two sides by dire slums.
Hmmmm…looks like our software is hanging. So: outta here!
