The community is quiet and safe. It's close to stores, parks and the public library.
The part of town I live in is friendly, more considerate neighbors than not.
Hard to get a job after retirement, any face to face interview people see I am older and will not hire me, I always get a rejection letter with those.
I had a recruiter call me about a job this morning and when I answered no one spoke. So I called them back and a lady picked up the phone, she said she was a recruiter and the minute I said, "I think we had a bad connection because no one answered when I picked up the phone", she hung up on me.
Nice place
