"Progress as Promised"

This is what the intersection of Manchester and Covert looks like now, as viewed looking west from a convenient mound of dirt. The nursing home has been gone for many years, but it looks like they are finally doing something with the vacant lot--a bank is the current speculation. Old State south of Manchester to about Pierside is being widened to 4 lanes, and what you see here is a new lane they are adding to the south side of Manchester that will facilitate merging after a right turn from Old State.

The bad news is that we will now have 3 lanes of traffic to cross if we want to make a left turn from Covert onto Manchester. The good news is that it will be easier to make a right turn, which we will be doing more and more often, I suspect.

Here is a picture of some geese that appeared on the street in front of our house:

I think they are odd creatures.
