Addition to my late entry post, if I may. Dennis, have you tried smiling at the passer byer and what exactly do you have to lose by giving space?
As to gain, maybe lower blood pressure?
I'm sorry, I'm at a loss for understanding. Hardly the first time in a long life.
Walking is wonderful and I do wish many a peaceful walk.
I understand the wrong side of the street for motor vehicles. But I'm sorry even at 80 years old, a walker and at times with my dog, I never knew there was a right or wrong side to walk on the sidewalk. Or in the case of my new neighbourhood, a 15ft easement off both sides the roadway. I would think either walker, maybe both, may pause, give way, make eye contact and smile. Unless of course it's a marathon? Do you know the health benefits of a smile? And not just for the smiler. At least as much as pounding payment and breathing fumes! And can be done anytime, anywhere, no jogging shoes required.
Yes, as the realtor says, location, location, location.
And there you will likely find your classification of wealth and values.
"We'r mov'n up to the east side,
finally got a piece of the pie".
No can do. And things are different.
I'm pulling back into MM. I don't need the double whammy of today's politics and my investments.
Folks, consider sleep and monitor your state of mind.
I whole heartly agree.
I pulled back into money markets today after a couple months of deliberating. At 80 yrs old, my sleep is more important than what's going on in the stock market.
When we find ourselves in similar circumstances, we load the car and head to a food pantry They're happy to accept unspoiled and properly sealed food and drink containers to give to various organizations and individuals in need.
