and I had to cross in the middle of a Main Street in my area which has no cross walk.

I was not jaywalking, why would you assume that? i was walking from one corner to a corner across the street which is legal even when there is not a crosswalk. One of the reasons there are few painted crosswalks is it costs an insane amount of money to paint them, therefore they do not.\
Don’t worry I wasn’t scolding you, just joking. We have long streets with no crosswalks, or crosswalks (sign only) in the middle of streets, or crosswalks with lines in the middle. I hate all of them. It’s too far to walk to the corner. Even there, it’s dangerous with the left-turners.
 

Thank you. We, that's the car and I, are of similar vintage. My father was a prisoner of war during WW2, He returned home in May 1945. I put in an appearance nine months and two days later.
Jessica came of the production line twelve months after that. It would be another fifty nine years before we got to know one another.
The old man didn't believe in wasting time, did he?
 
It was really lovely hot day today temps touching 90 F.. and we drove here to Jordans Mill about 30 mins from here where they have a Little restaurant overlooking the river , and some meadows and small copses, as well as an Ancient Old Mill where the first UK Granola was born....in 1972..

You are most welcome. What a poignant story.

Yup, that’s how it is here, long streets, no crosswalks. But, in Utah, if you get hit crossing it can be your fault, instead of the drivers, so because of the liability you have to be really careful.
 
I went on my early walk at 6:30,was cloudy,temp was 63.I didn't water the plants/flowers in our community garden because we had a soaking rain yesterday,rained during the night
This morning,my long walk to/from church service at 10:30,our guest preacher is our 'pastor candidate,' Rev. Todd Leach.Afterwards is our congregational meeting,hopefully with 80 or more members in attendance{legal number for a quorum} we will vote for him via paper ballot.If we approve,he'll become our new senior pastor starting Sept 1st
The rest of my day,talk with my brother{no family zoom meeting,was changed on my request to every other Sun} read local paper,my book
 
Change of plans today.
Light thunder showers started through the nite.....light rain.....Micki spent the nite keeping the bathroom company.....no morning pee yet for her.
Stones are heavier to move when they're wet......LOL...LOL.
Catching up on some indoor things i've left aside this week.
Rain is welcome.....but we need a lot to be helpful.
 
We are getting the house emptied today and cleaning tomorrow, but doing some cleaning as we go along, final watering of gardens. I am already exhausted after putting all my clothing in the car to be move and some minor packing.

For some reason my side hurts really bad as well, probably pulled a muscle. Doing laundry as well since I don’t have machines at the apartment yet. Doing my bedding. Son coming at 10 to help move the big stuff. The storage we rent is totally full. Boy do I need to downsize more.

Be glad when it’s finished.
