Truthful Tuesday: August 24th 2021

Today’s question:

If you live somewhere that it’s essential to own a vehicle for day-to-day

living, if public transportation where you live were to suddenly be

improved to the point that it became a viable alternative to taking your

own vehicle, would you still feel the need to own a vehicle? On the flip

side, if you do live where there is decent public transportation, do you

still find it necessary to own a vehicle?

Answer:

In 2009 I moved back to my hometown. My apartment complex is

located a few blocks from the last house I shared with my parents.

In comparison to the ‘now’ times public transportation was more

accessible back then and I recall days, months, years of taking the

bus to work (even two of them at one point in time).

Owning my own vehicle allowed me more independence with the

time schedule throughout the years; however, since I don’t drive

long distances nor every day the expense of owning a car may

outweigh the cost of public transportation.

I’ve given thought to leasing a vehicle which would cut my

yearly vehicle budget.

Recently I learned the town provides a service of a mini-bus

to local stores and for a $10.00 fee to cover the price of gas

a volunteer will drive you to out-of-town doctor’s visits.

I’m still pondering thoughts and options for upcoming year 2022.

Truthful Tuesday – October 20th

Prompt: questions and answers with regard to DST (Daylight Savings Time)

Do you live in an area that participates in Daylight Savings Time?
Ans: Yes, I do.

Are you glad to live where you do or do you wish you lived somewhere that does
the opposite in regards to DST?
Ans: I’m okay with the what’s known as ‘fall back and spring forward’ – losing or
gaining an hour of daylight.

If correct the state of Arizona doesn’t observe DST and I’d choose to live there due
to discomfort from high humidity in my state (whole different topic).

If my state were to abolish DST would I rather stick to Standard Time (autumn
and winter) or leave DST (spring and summer) in place all year?

Ans: I’ve grown accustomed through the years to the time changeover pattern.
I wonder if it would be a welcome change as the darkness of night passes at a
snail’s pace.

Truthful Tuesday – September 29th 2020

Prompt: Questions ’bout Halloween

What are my thoughts on trick-or-treating this year?

In my locale yearly door-to-door trick-or-treating has slowly declined
due to children’s safety issues. Any parent who would even consider
participation in this once-upon-a-time fun tradition during a medical
crisis, thereby placing their child in more potential danger, needs their
head examined. (politely stated)

Should Halloween be cancelled or should it go on as normal?

There is nothing normal ’bout these present times; however, I don’t
feel this holiday nor others ahead should be cancelled. Families can
adapt how they celebrate the special day with their creativity while
remaining in their own homes.
