When being transferred the automated message said “For English press 1”. If you don’t press 1 the message proceeds in Spanish. S...

It might mean a few more joggers and bikers, a few less McMansions, a few more volunteers at my kids’ public schools, more Girl Scouts selling cookies, and a few more people planning and attending our Block Party. I think I can get used to these c...
