CONTINUED FROM LAST EVENING....
And I said "and all of a sudden....." while delivering my load of newspapers,
(the road conditions must have been slick with rain or snow) my bike slide to
the right, the wheels sliding to the left, I as a result I slide down and forward
the right and my newspapers as a result spread forward like dominoes for
about 20 feet.
Back to Father driving Mother and us kids to our grandparents for Sunday
dinner. As we approached the T-junction of Ottobine Road (if this is also US
State Route 257 then it dog-legs to the south in Bridgewater about two miles
away) and US State Route 42 was only a two lane road and not the 4 lane road
it is today. At the T-junction, I believe, was a single stop sign that stopped
cars from turning left or right on to US State Route 42 until the coast was clear.
Father stopped, then turned right headed towards Bridgewater.
TO BE CONTINUED....
Back to my brother next to me in age, but younger, Roland. I left off with him
buying a place in Lake Wales, Florida for $22,000. So with Roland having a
place, Jerry and his wife, Janet, having a place and my Uncle E.C. and Aunt
Ruth having a place (they were the first family snowbirds to buy a place at
Lake Wales and have had it for, I'm guessing, 20 years more or less).

Summary of the XXXI Olympiad.
SPORTS OF THE (NEW YORK) TIMES
By SIMON ROMERO and ANDREW JACOBS, AUG. 21, 2016....
"Transportation gridlock frustrated visitors as they rushed between events
on opposite sides of a sprawling metropolis. And many people complained
about the glaring sight of empty seats, even at the closing ceremony, partly
the result of unsold tickets that proved unaffordable to the working poor.
The organizers seemed to stumble on several fronts, at least early on.
Long security lines and shortages of food at some sites left spectators
grumbling. A mysterious green tint in the diving and water polo pools
was highly embarrassing.
In the country as a whole, Brazilians gave mixed assessments as to whether
hosting the Olympics had been worth the expense and effort. Sixty-two
percent said the Games were damaging for the country, compared with
just 30 percent who saw the Olympics as bringing gains, according to a
public opinion survey released on Sunday by Ibope, a Brazilian polling
company....
Still, 57 percent of Brazilians said that the Olympics had generated a more
positive image of the country around the world, according to Ibope.
The poll, conducted from Aug. 11 to 15 in interviews with 2,002 people,
had a margin of sampling error of plus or minus two percentage points....
Those mixed feelings produced something of a paradox: a “wasteful event
that worked out,” in the words of José Roberto de Toledo, a columnist
for the newspaper O Estado de S. Paulo, who analyzed the poll."
World News - Central Italy has had a massive 6.2 earthquake and Pope Francis,
like always, is sadden by death of children.
Politics - My opinion - Donald Trump ain't no George Washington and Hillary
Clinton is like her husband, Bill Clinton. He said "I did not have sex with that
woman" (sure he didn't) and she said "I came under fire (gunfire) in Serbia"
(sure she did).
