On a lighter, nicer note about the neighborhood, my friend from Jersey's grandparents moved on the other block from me about 4 years ago. I can see their backyard when I'm out in mine. They do the snowbird thing too. They were down here full time in a waterfront home that they retired to, but sold that after about 10 years and bought a cheaper house that isn't waterfront and a condo up in Jersey. They wanted to be near their children as they get into their late years.
Dude is almost 85 years old and he's flying up and down the road on his bicycle. He was going on a 20 mile bike ride today. The temperature today is about as high as his age.
I've driven past him on my way home from work and he's all the way down there (Which is like 8 miles) riding his bike.
The old lady is worried about him getting hit by a car over by the beach or on one of the main roads.
If you seen this guy peddling you wouldn't know this guy was in his 80's. He told me if he had been cycling like this in his younger years he'd be the best damn cyclist there was haha.
He says he likes it more than his boat because at least it's free and don't cost nothing. Until you get a flat tire and have to change it.
That was pretty motivating for days when I'm feeling low on energy.
I asked him if he hears all the noises in the overnight hours and he says no because he's asleep and these bike rides make him sleep the best he has in his entire life. He joked that he goes into such a deep sleep that at his age he's afraid it'll be a permanent one.
