Weekend Plans

Posted on May 26th, 2011 by Richard. Categories: Community Feature, Just for Fun.

I haven’t checked the official numbers, but it feels like this Spring has been wetter than most. More cloudy, rainy days than not. Remember last summer when everything was parched and dry for months?

Possibly 1995…maybe when you were out of range from a cell tower, or your phone battery was dead and you had to make a call. I wonder how often they harvest the coins from it’s collection box…once every six months?

Park Illusion

Posted on March 10th, 2011 by Richard. Categories: Just for Fun.

After a somewhat stressful morning, I was delighted to see this sign pointing the way to a park. Great timing. A few minutes of relaxation and downtime enjoying nature’s quiet solitude before my next appointment sounded great. I thought I was familiar with all of the municipal parks, so I was excited to find a new one to explore. None of the other city parks I know of charge an admission fee like this one
