I don't mind the walking. It's good exercise. You, Doug, look like
you're in decent shape, but the majority of "rotundos" certainly could
use the walk :.) However, it would be easier if they repaired the many
holes in the asphalt. On Friday, after the earlier rain, one poor
vendor was perched on a small patch of intact pavement, but surrounded
by water. I thought to myself - "hmm... just like Scarborough..."
