A couple weeks back the Post Office was doing a food collection. You pack up some non-persibles and leave them at the mailboxes and the carrier will take them. Well, he/she didn’t. I put the bag in my car and started searching for where I could take them. I found a Rec Center that collected and distributed food.
Of course, I’m new in town and already have trouble finding places but this one is off a street I know, should be easy. If the internet is right and if it is a food gathering hub. So I drive down, turn at the street that will shoot right down to the Rec Center. The street is closed for construction, no going this way, bud! I think, of course, it is.
I’ll just go up a street and pass the barrier. That street is barricaded, too. Note there are no workers doing stuff. I tried another day, turning sooner to get to the right street. Fixing here! No thru traffic!!
I gave up on going there and discovered there are little food pantries dotted around, like little libraries but with food. I tried very hard to find one I could get to with simple turns off streets I know. Today I got there. The bag I’ve been hauling around is empty.
Why do things have to turn into an ADVENTURE.
Also, the pipe laying people have turned the water off for hours now. No warning.
