Work continues on the Haile Plantation extension of Archer Braid Trail,
but the project is behind schedule with completion anticipated
"sometime in July." Some of the heaviest excavation has taken place
along sections of SW 91st Street where much of the activity has been
centered recently.
I’ve been remiss in keeping up with postings here while I resolved some
of the questions raised when I was asked about aging in Gainesville. A
moment of indignation turned into months of introspection because the
concept of aging isn’t the same as the reality. Eventually, something
of worth emerged and had been published in the May edition of "Senior
Times" magazine. There’s a link to the digital version on their home
page
(http://www.seniortimesmagazine.com/).
Free, analog versions of the magazine are widely available locally at
Publix and other locations.
An editorial observation about the piece in Senior Times; the images
are not mine. They are stock photos.
Unrelated news is the 2014 version of the National
Bike Challenge, sponsored by the League of
American Bicyclists. From May through September individuals record
their daily mileage. Affiliation with bike clubs, workplace and
community is recorded and, especially with bike clubs, competition
becomes fierce. Gainesville Cycling Club buried all competition last
year and is maintaining a firm grip on first place.
