Well that’s good about the road. Doesn’t make you feel any better about the gate being left open, but at least no harm was done.
Maybe you can get your neighbor to let you put a chain and lock on that gate. I’ve always been nervous about having an unlocked gate facing a road because of the theft issue, or kids out causing mischief, but in your case it sounds like it was just plain old forgetfulness.
Having a cold at any time is no fun, but especially not in the springtime with all the pollen in the air to add insult to injury. I hope you get to feeling better soon.
Thanks! But a cold is not bad compared to a cast... hope you heal quickly and completely.
