“It amazes me how many people these days can’t follow simple directions.”

Mine is just different. You have to know exactly where to turn already, meaning you have to have been here once, or you won’t get here. Service people who travel this town all the time, can’t find me, either and they will call and tell me where they are, then I have to tell them almost inch by inch to get them to exactly the right place. My friend, who has lived here many years, couldn’t find it, either, the first time she came.

So, I don’t fault people who can’t find this place right in town. When I turn in where my house is, the electric gate closes and it’s like the town is gone as I can’t see it anymore and they can’t see me.

But, when I need to renew my medicine, I drive across the street into the Walgreen parking lot. Then, I drive back across the street to my house and the town is gone again.

It’s like going from the country into town and back to the country in a few minutes. Maybe it’s an alternate universe or an Einstein time warp.

Golf carts can be your friend, even if you don't golf. A bicycle could be good. I wouldn't recommend a dog sled, mushing poodles. Too flashy. Too many would notice. And sometimes even poodles can be hard to stop once they get into the pulling. Full sized ones anyway. [or so I've been told...]

Toy poodles and a really small sled, maybe?
