Tuesday PM
This last week we have had snow in Ketchikan. It is good for our water shed. On Tuesday there was a message up by the front of the Hospital saying the city bus could not make it up the hill so people would have to walk down to Tongass to catch the bus. I am 66 years old and have to be at the Hospital for some antibiotic infusion. I could not walk down to Tongass to catch the bus, what are we doing hiring from Georgia and Virginia? I have never seen the bus not go to the hospital It is a Hospital and the people there are usually sick. I have live here 30 years and this has never happened.
Late this afternoon I needed to go to the store. The streets were clear and they had piled everything on the sidewalk. This is in front of Sea View Terrace. Sea View and the Pioneer Home are full of old people. They cannot walk on all that snow. We have to quit hiring people who have no Idea how to drive in snow. This is Alaska and it is supposed to snow. Not for my convenience or yours.
