CAN you believe it??? WordPress let me back into Funny about Money on the FIRST TRY!
Zowie! It’s a miracle! 😀
Just back from trudging around the park with Ruby the Corgi. Usually this is pleasantly fun, and today is no serious exception. Kids playing. Grown-ups loafing and socializing. Other dawgs walking their humans. Beautiful, sunny afternoon: bright but not too hot.
My son still has the purloined car, so any shopping has to be done within walking distance.
But…but… In the “can you believe it” department, THAT is no problem. Everything we need IS within walking distance!
- Two supermarkets
- A pet store
- A computer store
- A Sprouts
- A Bookman’s
- A QT
- A hair stylist
- ….on and on
When Caligula made off with my car, really: I did expect to be seriously inconvenienced. Enough to consider selling my house and moving to a suburb on the far east or far west side.
But..nay verily!
You don’t need a car to live in this neighborhood conveniently.
I sorta kinda knew this. But had never tried it out. Now, though, I have…and what I’ve found is that I can easily walk to any of the many stores in this area.
LOL! That may not be so when the weather’s hitting 110 degrees. During that period, I’ll have to call an Uber or a cab. But that ain’t very long, in these parts. Even in the summertime, you have a couple hours in the morning when you can walk around without risk of heat stroke.
Truth to tell, though, this neighborhood is incredibly convenient, and well stocked with a generous array of retailers within easy walking distance.
So. That does away with the (horrible!) plan to move to Sun City or Fountain Hills, stodgy suburbs on the far west and far east sides of the city. Looks like I’ll be hanging out here until they come to lock me into the old-folkerie.
And with any luck, I’ll croak over before then. 😀
If this state of affairs proves to be permanent, I probably will ask His Lordship to sell that car, so I can pocket a few grand and no longer be hassled with licensing and insuring it. We shall see…
