@hazardwarning I think I’m hooked on that podcast, too.
I’ve been driving for over 40 years & this is the first time I’ve been pinged by a red-light camera.
Found a traffic infriungement notice in the mailbox today. When I was bringing my mother back to the rehab hospital from another hospital where she’d had an MRI scan done, I ran a red light. No doubt of it, I’ve seen the photos the camera took.
$403 worth of ouch.
23 years ago an errant vehicle partially demolished a low brick wall separating the main road from the carpark of a small convenience store. Since then, the shop has been reconstructed, now occupying twice the original area, but still the brick wall is only half there.
@larand Technically, zero is rounder. It’s mid-winter here, 38º South lattitude. At last the violent winds of the last four or five days are subsiding. Limited precipitation expected today, top temperature of 14º forecast.
Cheesemaker’s website needs work. Front page says they’re open 7 days per week.
But their contact & map location page refutes this.
The latter scenario is the correct statement.
Just after the power as disrupted some 45 minutes ago, I heard emergency service sirens going past. I’m wondering whether a vehicle accident has taken out a pole or other item of infrastructure.
So sad. Devastated, even. I was supposed to meet a friend on Saturday night but it had been his mother’s funeral the previous day. She had done the same as my own mother, fallen out of bed & unable to get up. But Mum was found within 15 hours, Dave’s mum was down for six days before being found in that state.
She never recovered from exposure (it’s winter) and pressure sores from being unable to move much. Like my Mum, she was living alone.
