    Covid 19 has taught me I do not need to drive to the grocery, I can order online and the driver is making multiple deliveries and driving Eco because less cars are having to drive to the store.
    I now walk to the post office and the drug store.

    Great meeting new neighbors, great stress relief to walk and listen to podcasts, podcasts are very educational, more sidewalks needed. Too many neighbors don't adjust their sprinklers and too much water is wasted
