    I so enjoy riding around with you because I'm pretty much homebound. Can't see well enough to drive safely anymore and I really don't have anyone who would go for a country ride with me. It does my heart good to have found you here on CZcams. Thank You I truly appreciate the ride and your banter.

    4 people are missing in Nova Scotia from flooding due to a massive thunderstorm. It's washed out many roads and bridges. In the last month we've gone from wildfires to floods. I'm glad you've applied for your passport, we would really appreciate a visit from Post10 ❤ Stay safe.

    The big storm yesterday (Friday 21 July 2023 at approx. 5pm) in S Central NH and N Central MA was pretty intense. DW Highway in S Nashua was hard hit because the storm stalled and intensified directly over the US-3 corridor. The entrance to the Market Basket parking lot was completely impassible due to about half a meter of storm water that had become trapped by a series of clogged storm drains.
    I would have cleared them if DW Highway was an actual road or actual street, but because it is a stroad I left it to the DOT and the Nashua Police Department.

The new places I see popping up are hybrid with the all the brushes and the laser wash together, they have a couple guys there to clean your wheels/wells by hand and set you up on the rails that pull you through. Also have a self-service detailing area with fresh rags, cleaners, polish, vacuum, all included for free. $10 a wash or $20-30 a month. But like you said, they were more populated areas. Wish we had those here lol.
