We Are Women (Hear Us Roar)

Lori Robbins and I managed to clear the building material debris that she’d pulled out of her basement a few weeks ago.

We made two trips to the Bourne refuse facility. 700 pounds, $33, under budget. They could not have been nicer to us at Bourne.

Lori told me about some paths that she likes around Santuit Pond.

I was able to get to my appointment with “Doc” Schortman on time, but he passed on extracting my tooth. They made an appointment with an oral surgeon.

Talked with the town Treasurer about how long it takes for Mashpee to seize property for non-payment of taxes: 3 years. One piece of property designated for conservation land at this week’s Town Meeting has been owned by the Town for ten years.

Met with a tree guy this morning. He wants a lot of money for work we can pretty much do ourselves.

Booked an appointment to talk with the school superintendent about his “Mashpee is Dogpatch” comments last night. Not true: our average income is higher than both Falmouth and Bourne. Our percentage of college grads is higher than the state average.

Ron and I took a walk up and down Dixon to figure out which trees need to be pruned to meet the DPW standards.
