Started the day with a lovely walk with Joanne. Back by 10, then to Line Dance class at 10:30.
In the afternoon I helped a neighbor, Phil, pack up 5 boxes of books to donate to FOPAL. Put them in my car and drove down there, and found that some stupid construction…
FOPAL occupies a building that is part of what once was Cubberly High School. 20(?) years ago it was closed as a school, then the campus of many buildings was reopened as a community center. Now a local fire station is being remodeled, and the powers that be have decided that they would give the FD a new temporary home in the middle of the parking lot in front of the FOPAL building. Bad enough that we lost about 30 parking spaces, but today I found construction fencing completely closing off — or so I thought — access to the building.
Went home with 5 boxes of Phil’s books still in my car, wrote an email. Got a response that yes, it is possible still to get to our door, there’s a gap in the fence. Wasn’t obvious to me driving by but whatever. Anyway.
Dinner with Carolyn and new residents Liane and Weldon.
