We really haven't been out much since the pandemic,,,,

[asiliveandbreathe]

5. This is what I was saying to hubby..we went to a Golf Cart parts

store, somewhere down Greenfield to Elliot and west to I want to say Gilbert (we are in NE Mesa)..along the way I noticed the trees looked dead..a lot of them..hubby said NO, they are just dormant...I'm not so sure about that..

The roads, oh, my..he did a job in Maricopa..(he is retired, but paints houses, now and then)..I just could not get over the traffic..construction..as though, AZ cannot keep up with all the vehicles..I dropped him off, (empty house), he was on the job for 7 days..when I picked him up I took the 60 to I10..OMG..seems it doesn't matter what time of day..some 3, some 4 lanes East and West, bumper to bumper..lots of trucks..the 202 (is a long way round the barn for us - Mcdowell) so, when you get to 202 and 101 heading West,to get to I10..fuggetaboutit!!! I'll wait for them to finish..

My son and DIL in Goodyear, travel I10 East and West everyday..from Goodyear to 67th ave..and back..DIL teaches at 67th, she doesn't drive..and he teaches - his school is just off the new extension 202..on the west side.very new..the growth is amazing on the West side..I10 torn up for lengthy construction of 202 - l10 and 303..ramps galore..

If I want to visit them, I always check road conditions at ADOT..and if Nascar is racing that weekend..etc etc etc..no, I haven't been west for some time..

We have a Dr. appt. today..so will look around to see if trees are dormant LOL..Higley to Baseline to just East of Alma School..I should get a pretty good sampling..
