Met with the “poverty lawyer” at the Senior Center to see if there are any financial assistance programs for old people that would apply to us. He wasn’t encouraging, which pretty much matches my research, unfortunately.
We double-dipped at the bread tables today. Ron went early for us, then we loaded up for Peter after our meeting.
Did the transfer station run and dropped books off at the library.
After lunch, met with the superintendent of schools to talk about Mashpee as Dogpatch. He struck me as sincere and thoughtful. Seems he’s one of these “you either love him or you hate him” people.
Grilled chicken, steamed asparagus and Ron made mashed sweets for supper. Pizza for lunch. We aren’t exactly starving.
Put out the Halloween decorations. Used the right side of the yard this year, in the soon to be Narcissus garden. Actually works pretty well.
Confirmed that I am covered for extractions through Ron’s dental plan, at 80%.
We both went to the Steering meeting. The extroverts were there babbling about their signature gathering. I suggested that the next time that comes up as an action, the group set up two lines of people, one to solicit and one to sign voters up. There was not a ton of enthusiasm; I think everyone wants “credit” for their skill at attracting sign-ups.
