After weeks of not having a light at the top of the stairwell, we finally replaced the light bulbs.

The Tip
My daughter went out to eat for her first sit down dinner with a group, where she was then required to take care of her own bill and tip accordingly.

Barriers
As I drove down the street, I noticed that the sidewalk that was recently redone to allow pedestrians safer travel was being changed. It made no sense to me why there was any need to do more work to the area. When I peered closer, I noticed that the sidewalk was constructed to purposely block … Continue reading Barriers
