When I read your comment it was a gentle reminder to be thankful ... At 72 I have some small health issues but perfect vision. Never been inside an eyeglass store
Recently digging up a reusable bag for groceries under the back seat of my vehicle. Found an old receipt at the bottom of the bag from almost 2 years ago. Compared the prices - shocked to find some items have increased only 10 or 12 % - others have skyrocketed
Seems that a majority of comments mention proximity to the kids and grands ... Always wonder about the folks who move to be near them. What happens when the kids pickup and move or lose their jobs or transfer?
Don't have the benefit of a radar gun but I've seen kids zipping by at 25mph or better on trails with baby strollers and dogs on leashes on them ... Most of them not wearing helmets either. One municipality near us considering banning them Inconsiderate yes and dangerous
Transparency is a big issue as far as I'm concerned ... Try finding someone in a doc's office / medical billing joint / insurance company who will give you a simple understandable answer to a question is often maddening

Not a fan of the e bikes ... Too many people riding way too fast on our trails that have a 15mph speed limit
