First thing was the monthly Resident Association meeting. One of several topics was the introduction of the car-free-trial program. The idea is to encourage people who are thinking about maybe someday giving up their car. If you promise to not use your car for two months, they’ll pay you $300 to defray the cost of your Uber rides, and for your report at the end. When I heard about this (Day 6.104) they were going to offer $200, and I urged that it be more. Glad to see they stepped it up to $300. We’ll see what kind of response it gets.
Then I zipped to my car and across town to CVS for my scheduled 11:30 appointment for a Covid shot. Got there at 10:40. The CVS website said I could wait to check in at 11:15, or I could reschedule. Hmmm. I tapped “reschedule” and found I could change to 11am. OK, do that. So now I wasn’t early and could check in, and in fact the nurse shot me and I was out about 10:50.
Then down to FOPAL for the post-sale tidy of my section. Back to CH to do an errand for a friend, Pam. She had an operation and emailed via her phone, she would be going from the hospital to another location for rehab, could I get her computer and bring it to her. Except she didn’t know where she would be transferred yet. So I stopped by her apartment and found her friend Judy bagging up clothes for her. We agreed to take her stuff together, when we knew where she would be. So that’s pending.
There was a concert by Steve Gill and friends this evening. He comes around 2 or 3 times a year. Tonight they were doing songs of Johnny Mercer. It was OK. Joanne showed up and sat beside me so that elevated the experience a bit.
