#Garage Lifting Equipment Market

[fight4me]

Random headcannons of the Radiator Springs folk: an alternative universe telling how the citizens stay (or don't stay) fit.

Fillmore: yoga obviously. And meditation, man.

Sarge: still follows a military regime of fitness. Basically strict pull-ups and military push-ups.

Flo and Remone: they've been secretly practicing ballroom dancing for years. Everything from salsa to the waltz. They tried swing dancing, but Ramon was afraid he was going to get one or both of them hospitalized. He really didn't want to give his wife a concussion. On the Ramon side of things, he may dabble in hip-hop dance and a little bit of breakdancing.

Sheriff: chasing bad guys and naps. But mostly naps lately.

Guido: he's a small guy with incredible body control. He does calisthenics, or street workouts. He has elite level skills. (He can do a full planche.) (This was inspired by going down a YouTube wormhole...) He has some pullup bars and parallel bars he made out of galivized pipe outside the tire shop. The industrial gym vibes. He also does a little breakdancing with Ramon.

Luigi: Owning a tire shop keeps him fit enough, he says.

Red: he'll run firefighter drills and make up obstacle courses. He likes the challenge of making up some sort of agility course and than seeing how long it takes him to complete it. He can do this thanks to his trusty stopwatch.

Lizzie: uses cans of vegetables as hand weights. Don't be fooled, she's stronger than she looks.

Sally: I'm gonna say she enjoyed swimming as a child. But now a days she doesn't really get to, living in the middle of the desert and all that. So now it's walking, biking, perhaps a bit of yoga.

Lightning: traditional gym bro stuff. But with terrible form. Deadlifts with a rounded back and everything. He's one mistake away from being in a gym fail video. (Seriously whatever you're thinking, it's worse.) When Doc was alive he pretty much gave up on trying to fix it and looked away. Cruz however is still trying fix.

Cruz: being a former trainer has served her well. Cruz will do just about anything. Her main jam is something pretty similar to crossfit. She does love her some olympic lifts. She's acquired a hodgepodge of hand-me-down work out equipment from Craigslist, garage sales and FB market place. One of her favorite finds is an old barbell and some random plates. It's a little rusty, not shiny like a new one, but it does the job. Essentially, she'll do whatever you throw at her. One of the cool things is she will jump in on the other citizens' workout regimes, for companionship or to encourage them. Obviously she trains with Lightning the most often, making sure he doesn't die of poor form. She does yoga with Fillmore, pushups/pull ups with Sarge. She'll go watch/do some other calisthenics with Guido. (She's almost got a handstand and L-sit down pat.) She'll run some drills with Red or hold his stopwatch for him. Chat with Lizzie while she does her daily exercises on her porch.

Oh crap I forgot Mater... *mind draws blank. cricket noises.* So, when Mater's not tinkering around the impound or drivin' his tow truck, he rides his old-school bicycle with high handlebars.

5 Lessons From the Iron

Back in 2015, I started weightlifting seriously.  Over eight years of training, I was able to get strong. But more importantly, I discovered a hobby that brought me immense satisfaction.  While I don’t barbell train like I used to, I still religiously lift weights.  During my eight years of serious training, I’ve learned some important life lessons from the iron.  Below, I share five of them. 1. Success Comes From a Long Obedience in the Same Direction When people decide to get serious with exercise, they tend to focus on the minutiae of their new regimen. People spend a lot of time looking for the right program and the right equipment. They think they’ll see incredible gains if they find the optimal set and rep range.  But there’s something just as, if not more important, than the training program you choose: Being consistent with it for months and even years.  How did I deadlift 600 pounds? I trained consistently for six years. Sure, my programming changed during that time, but the thing that didn’t change was me going down to my garage four times a week to train.  The necessity of consistency applies to every other endeavor in life.  I’ve used the consistency principle to lose 30 pounds this year. I didn’t do any crash dieting. I just gradually reduced my calories and stuck to my macro target almost every day for eight months. That’s it.  When people ask me for advice about their online business, they often ask me about the tools and tricks Kate and I use that helped us get AoM to where it is today.  Keeping up with the latest trends in technology, marketing, and social media hasn’t been nearly as important as simply sticking to our publishing schedule; for coming up on sixteen years now, we’ve published several pieces of content nearly every single week. AoM isn’t slick, flashy, or even particularly cool, but it is consistent.  As Nietzsche put it, “everything of the nature of freedom, elegance, boldness . . . and masterly certainty”; everything to do with “virtue, art, music, dancing, reason, spirituality”; everything “that is transfiguring,” that makes “life worth living,” is premised on one thing: A “long obedience in the same direction.” The trick is figuring out ways to stay consistent over the long haul.  When it comes to exercising, we’ve written about how to work out while you’re on vacation, sick, or simply don’t feel like it. There’s plenty of good advice there, and I think it carries over to other parts of life, too.  But the real secret for staying consistent over the long haul is that . . . 2. You Got to Have Ganas Ganas is Spanish for desire.  I’ve written about the centrality of ganas in finding success in whatever you do. Most of the things I’ve achieved in life were because I really wanted to accomplish those things. I had ganas for those goals. A big reason I was able to deadlift 600 pounds is that I really, really wanted to deadlift 600 lbs. That strong desire was what compelled me to rarely miss a workout for four years. My coach could give me programming and offer corrections on technique, but he couldn’t make me want to go after a 600-lb deadlift. I had to have the desire myself. Discipline is really harped on these days as the key to success.  Discipline is one way to achieve the consistency that’s essential to reaching your goals.  But constantly exercising self-control is exhausting.  A better way to stay consistent is to operate with inherent motivation — to enjoy the thing you’re doing so that you want to do the thing that will lead to success.  What William George Jordan said about duty applies to discipline as well: Duty is a hard, mechanical process for making men do things that love would make easy. It is a poor understudy to love. It is not a high enough motive with which to inspire humanity. Duty is the body to which love is the soul. Love, in the divine alchemy of life, transmutes all duties into privileges, all responsibilities into joys. I loved going for big PRs, which is why I could be… http://dlvr.it/T0301h

Chapter 2: Uninvited Guest

Narrated by Netga.

Narrator: Blinking neon lights lie haphazardly in the corner. Optical fiber wires are scattered around the ground like nets.

Narrator: It’s hard to sense the passage of time in the enclosed garage. When I wake up, it’s already noon.

Narrator: The music I forgot to turn off last night is still booming in my workshop. I down my canned lunch in one gulp.

Narrator: How I miss restaurant-made black truffle soup. If I don’t get any orders soon, I won’t be able to afford even canned food.

Narrator: As I check the monitors on the control panel, I turn on the holographic projector to see a bounty on the news.

Newscast: ...The digital stimulant is now available on the black market. If used in mecha battles, it’ll lead to cheating.

Newscast: This stimulant is capable of speedily increasing the reaction speed, willpower, and deadliness of mechas.

Newscast: The suspect is said to be a former advanced researcher in an unnamed institute on Ruins Island.

Newscast: His expertise in neural connection allows him to collect stimulated brainwaves from animal experiments.

Netga: Create neural connection data packs to sell to mecha battle participants? That’s cruel!

Newscast: The suspect is on the police’s wanted list for illegal stimulant trade and cheating in matches. A generous reward will be offered.

Netga: A generous reward?

Narrator: The reward amount scrolls past the bottom of the screen. I look closer, counting the zeros, and inhale sharply.

Narrator: If I have that much money... I can have truffle soup every day and update all the hardware and materials in my workshop!

Narrator: Too bad this reward will never be mine. I sigh, sinking back into the couch.

Narrator: Bang!

Narrator: From the control panel comes the sound of equipment falling over. I leap up from the sofa again.

Narrator: The sound of objects toppling over like dominoes follows. Is someone looking through my possessions? A thief, perhaps?

Narrator: If it’s a thief, he’ll definitely be disappointed. All I have are unwanted mechas.

Narrator: I still pick up my laser melding gun and head towards the source of the commotion with cautious steps to investigate.

Narrator: Shoving aside some stray parts under the window, I find a small bunny. Next to it, the power cord it broke is still fizzling.

Narrator: A bunny?

Narrator: I’ve never seen any fluffy, soft, live animal on this island before.

Narrator: The bunny stares up at me with innocent, round eyes, then bounces to the side and begins to explore my workshop.

Netga: Hey! You!

Narrator: The small bunny squirms a lot, but I still manage to catch it after chasing it all around the place and cornering it by a wall.

Narrator: It won’t stop kicking its legs in my arms, but still...

Narrator: So soft to the touch!

Narrator: I start running my hand down its body, and it soon calms down.

Narrator: It’s rare to see an actual live animal on this island. Perhaps this fluffy bunny is a good imitation?

Narrator: I lift it onto my work table and scan it for electronic signals.

Narrator: Nothing out of the ordinary. Except...

Narrator: The device beeps loudly. An unknown chip has been detected behind an ear of the bunny. It’s an encrypted data pack.

Narrator: Studying this cute intruder sitting on my table, I’m suddenly reminded of the news I just saw.

Narrator: Did this bunny escape from the lab where the animal experiments are performed?

Narrator: Heart rate picking up, I connect my devices to the Internet and begin tracing the source of the data.

Narrator: It’s not that hard, though it can take time.

Narrator: After hacking into the core system of the chip, I find an IP address and soon gain access to heaps of trade records.

Narrator: The money seems to go in and out of several forged accounts owned by one single person.

Narrator: After some decoding, a set of coordinates behind multiple faked identities finally appear like an island in a sea of data.

Netga: Locked onto the target!

Narrator: The coordinates point to a spot in the crowded streets in the city center. Perhaps it’s where the suspect’s lab is located.

Narrator: Night falls and colorful holograms light up the streets. I walk unnoticed behind the groups of mechas and pedestrians.

Narrator: As I weave through the crowd, I remember the series of zeros I saw on the news. Enticing rewards await me!

Narrator: I should get down to business tonight before anyone else can catch up!

Junk Removal in Jersey City: Why "Junk All Mighty" is the Best Choice for Your Needs

Have you ever found yourself staring at that old, bulky furniture in your living room, wondering how on earth you'll get rid of it? Or you're dealing with an overstuffed garage that's more junkyard than storage space, and tackling it on your own feels overwhelming. You're not alone! Many residents and business owners in Jersey City face the same challenges regarding junk removal. The good news? "Junk All Mighty" is here to save the day. With our expert team and efficient services, we make junk removal in Jersey City a breeze. Let's dive into why choosing us is the best decision you can make for your junk removal needs.

The Growing Need for Junk Removal Services in Jersey City

Jersey City, the second-most populous city in New Jersey, has seen significant growth over the past decade. With its bustling neighbourhoods, diverse communities, and booming real estate market, Jersey City is a vibrant place to live and work. However, with growth comes the inevitable accumulation of junk. Whether from residential renovations, commercial cleanouts, or everyday clutter, Jersey City generates a substantial amount of waste that needs to be managed appropriately.

According to recent data, Jersey City generates over 500,000 tons of waste annually, and this number is only expected to increase as the city grows. Proper junk removal and waste management are essential for maintaining the city's cleanliness, safety, and overall quality of life. This is where professional junk removal services like "Junk All Mighty" come into play.

Why DIY Junk Removal Isn't Always the Best Option

It might be tempting to tackle junk removal alone, especially if you want to save a few bucks. But DIY junk removal can quickly become time-consuming and physically demanding. Here are a few reasons why DIY junk removal might not be the best option:

Physical Strain: Lifting heavy items like furniture, mattresses, and appliances can cause serious injury if not done correctly. With the proper equipment and techniques, you can avoid straining your back, pulling a muscle, or even worse.

Time-Consuming: Sorting through junk, organizing items for disposal, and hauling them to the appropriate disposal site can take hours, if not days. For busy Jersey City residents and business owners, this time could be better spent on more productive tasks.

Disposal Challenges: Jersey City has specific regulations regarding the disposal of certain items, especially hazardous materials. Knowing where and how to dispose of different types of junk can be confusing and overwhelming.

Environmental Impact: Improper junk disposal can negatively impact the environment. Items like electronics, mattresses, and appliances must be disposed of or recycled to minimise their ecological footprint.

Hiring a professional service like "Junk All Mighty" offers numerous benefits regarding junk removal in Jersey City. Here's why we're the best choice for your junk removal needs:

Eco-Friendly Disposal Practices

We protect the environment. We go the extra mile to ensure that as much of your junk as possible is recycled or donated rather than ending up in a landfill. We work closely with local recycling centres and donation organizations to give unwanted items a second life.

For example, when we handle mattress removal in Jersey City, we take the mattresses to a recycling facility where the materials are separated and reused. The metal springs are recycled, and the foam and fabric are repurposed for other products. This approach reduces waste and supports the local economy by creating jobs in the recycling industry.

Transparent Pricing with No Hidden Fees

We believe in honesty and transparency when it comes to pricing. When you choose "Junk All Mighty," you'll receive a clear and upfront estimate before any work begins.

Reducing Landfill Waste

Landfills are a significant source of pollution, releasing harmful chemicals and greenhouse gases into the environment. By recycling and donating as much junk as possible, "Junk All Mighty" helps reduce the amount of waste in landfills, thereby reducing the environmental impact.

Supporting Local Charities

Many of the items we collect, such as furniture and electronics, are still in good condition. Instead of throwing them away, we donate these items to local charities and organizations that can put them to good use. This helps those in need and reduces the demand for new products, conserving resources and reducing waste.

Promoting Recycling and Sustainability

Recycling is a key component of our junk removal process. We work with local recycling centres to ensure that materials like metal, glass, plastic, and paper are properly processed and reused. This promotes sustainability and helps conserve natural resources.

Finding the Best Garage Door Openers in Your Neighborhood

Introduction

Having a reliable and efficient garage door opener is an important part of maintaining your home. Garage door openers not only provide convenience, but also enhance the security and curb appeal of your property. With so many options available on the market, it can be overwhelming to choose the right one for your needs. In this blog post, we'll explore the key factors to consider when selecting the best garage door opener for your home.

Factors to Consider

Horsepower and Lifting Capacity

The first thing to consider is the horsepower (HP) and lifting capacity of the garage door opener. This will determine the size and weight of the door that the opener can handle. For most residential homes, a 1/2 HP or 3/4 HP opener is typically sufficient, but if you have a larger or heavier garage door, you may need a more powerful 1 HP model.

Noise Level

Garage door openers can vary greatly in their noise levels, which can be an important factor if your garage is located near living spaces. Look for models with features like soft-start and soft-stop mechanisms, which can help reduce the noise and vibration during operation.

Security and Safety Features

Modern garage door openers often come equipped with advanced security and safety features, such as rolling code technology, automatic reverse systems, and photocell sensors. These features help protect your home and family from potential intruders and prevent accidents.

Connectivity and Smart Home Integration

Many of the latest garage door openers are designed to integrate with smart home systems, allowing you to control and monitor your garage door remotely using your smartphone or voice assistant. This can be especially convenient if you need to grant access to guests or service providers when you're not at home.

Warranty and Durability

Finally, consider the warranty and overall durability of the garage door opener. Look for models with a strong track record of reliability and long-lasting performance, as well as a manufacturer's warranty that covers both the motor and other key components.

Conclusion

Choosing the right garage door opener for your home can significantly improve the functionality, security, and overall value of your property. By considering factors like horsepower, noise level, safety features, and smart home integration, you can find the best garage door opener that meets your specific needs and preferences. With the right research and selection process, you can enjoy the convenience and peace of mind that comes with a high-quality garage door opener.

Reasons to Try Metalsmithing

Metalsmithing involves manipulating various metals to create something new or artistic. It includes shaping, folding, sawing, texturing, stamping, drilling, and soldering. The simplest form of metalsmithing involves shaping metal when it’s hot to make practical tools, accessories, simple jewelry, and much more.

For many, metalsmithing can be a practical and inexpensive side hustle at home. You can do it in your garage, yard, or home workshop. The tools needed are easily available at most local hardware and equipment stores. Basic tools include a hammer, tongs, anvil, and a furnace to heat the metal.

It’s also possible to make a career in metalsmithing. You can sell your creations at a garage sale, farmer’s market, local craft fairs, or online. You can also connect with fellow smiths and broaden your social and business networks in such venues.

Metalsmithing is a great way to stay active and keep fit. It’s not monotonous like regular workouts, and it also works on your arms and upper body because it involves lifting and repetitive hammering.

The Advantages of Garage Doors More Than Just a Barrier

Garage doors are an integral part of any modern home, offering a myriad of advantages that extend beyond mere functionality. While they serve as a secure barrier to protect your vehicles and belongings, the advantages of garage doors encompass aspects of safety, convenience, aesthetics, and even energy efficiency. In this article, we will explore the multifaceted benefits of garage doors that make them an essential feature of contemporary living.

Security and Safety One of the most significant advantages of garage doors is the security they provide. They act as a formidable deterrent to potential burglars, offering an additional layer of protection for your home. Modern garage doors come equipped with advanced security features, including automated locking systems and remote access control, ensuring your peace of mind.

Garage doors also enhance safety by preventing unauthorized access to your property. This is particularly important for families with children, as it reduces the risk of accidents and keeps curious little ones away from dangerous tools and equipment stored in the garage.

Convenience and Accessibility The convenience of a garage door cannot be overstated. Gone are the days of manually lifting heavy garage doors; today, most garage doors are equipped with automatic openers that can be operated with a remote control or smartphone app. This allows for quick and effortless entry and exit, especially during adverse weather conditions.

Additionally, garage doors with smart technology integration enable homeowners to monitor and control their garage remotely, providing an extra layer of convenience and security. You can open or close the door with a simple tap on your smartphone, ensuring that your garage is always accessible when you need it.

Aesthetic Appeal Garage doors have evolved beyond their utilitarian roots to become a focal point of a home's exterior design. With a wide range of styles, materials, and finishes available, homeowners can choose a garage door that complements their overall architectural aesthetic. Whether you prefer a traditional carriage-style door, a sleek and modern design, or a custom-crafted masterpiece, your garage door can enhance the curb appeal of your home.

Energy Efficiency Energy efficiency is a growing concern for homeowners, and garage doors play a role in this aspect as well. Insulated garage doors help regulate the temperature inside the garage, preventing extreme heat or cold from affecting your vehicles and stored items. This can lead to energy savings, as your heating and cooling systems won't have to work as hard to maintain comfortable temperatures in adjacent living spaces.

Increased Property Value Investing in a high-quality garage door can significantly increase the resale value of your home. Potential buyers appreciate the security, convenience, and aesthetic appeal that a well-maintained garage door brings to the property. It's a feature that can set your home apart from others on the market and make it more attractive to potential buyers.

Durability and Longevity Garage doors are designed to withstand the rigors of daily use and the elements. Modern materials and construction techniques ensure that they are highly durable and require minimal maintenance. With proper care and periodic inspections, a well-built garage door can last for many years, providing a reliable barrier to protect your property.

Garage doors are more than just practical barriers; they offer a wide range of advantages that enhance the overall quality of life for homeowners. From security and safety to convenience, aesthetics, energy efficiency, increased property value, and durability, the benefits of garage doors are undeniable. As an essential part of modern living, they not only protect your vehicles and belongings but also contribute to the functionality and aesthetic appeal of your home. When considering home improvements, don't overlook the significant advantages that a well-chosen garage door can bring to your property.

Vermont Flooding Engulfs a Ski Town.

For nearly a year, Bex Prasse and Craig Kovalsky had labored to restore every inch of the run-down building where they envisioned their future business, on an up-and-coming Main Street in the small Vermont ski town of Ludlow.The couple were newcomers to the rural state, part of a pandemic-driven influx of younger transplants that has thrilled planners after decades of concern about an aging, stagnant population.“It’s a quaint, quintessential, amazing little New England town — it has that vibe — and it has great potential, too,” said Ms. Prasse, 33, a Virginia native who spent the last decade working as a scuba instructor and yacht captain in Fiji and the Caribbean.By early this month, their work was almost finished. Wall tiles and countertops gleamed. A new industrial kitchen stood ready. They ordered pots and pans, sketched out a menu of gourmet sandwiches made from ingredients grown on local farms, and prepared to carve a wooden sign to replace the paper one in the front window: “Coming Soon Blue Duck Deli.”The Black River, tumbling serenely over rocks just behind the building, had other plans.Last Sunday, as rain began to fall, Mr. Kovalsky, a chef who has cooked at restaurants in New York City, and most recently on superyachts cruising the globe, gazed at the calm water and felt little fear. He knew about Tropical Storm Irene, which had ravaged the state in 2011, but had always heard it called a “100-year storm.”“We thought we wouldn’t be here by the time it happened again,” Mr. Kovalsky, 37, said. “We thought by then we would be retired somewhere.Around 3 a.m. on Monday, flood warnings blared from their cellphones. Ms. Prasse and Mr. Kovalsky rushed to empty tools and equipment from the attached garage behind the house, but shortly after 5 a.m., they said, the river overflowed its banks and invaded the structure. Fast-moving floodwater sheared off one wall and filled the basement to the ceiling, destroying their brand-new electrical system and two industrial freezers, and knocking the entire garage sideways.When it was over, the couple stood stunned in the wreckage, then began to salvage what they could — a screwdriver here, a hammer there, amid the boards and branches and shattered chunks of pavement. They felt lucky in one sense. The renovated deli space, closer to the street, was not badly damaged, nor were their living quarters above it. But because the flooded garage, once a barn, was attached, it put the entire structure at risk.They were not alone. Their town of 2,100 people had suffered some of the worst flooding in the state amid more than seven inches of rain. It was part of a broad corridor of destruction that also included the capital, Montpelier, 80 miles to the north, and Barre, where the state’s first death from the storm was reported on Wednesday after a 63-year-old man drowned in his home.It was a painful setback for Vermont at the height of its summer tourist season. Tourism pumps $3 billion into its economy each year and employs at least 30,000 people, as 13 million visitors flock to take in the sweeping mountain views and covered bridges. While much of the state was untouched by the flooding — even in Ludlow, which is in south-central Vermont, some businesses were unscathed — national news coverage of disasters typically leads to a wave of cancellations.In Ludlow — first settled by farmers in 1783, later home to woolen mills powered by the river, and now best known as the home of Okemo Mountain Resort — momentum had been building. Since Vail Resorts bought the ski area in 2018, upgrading lifts and boosting marketing and year-round recreation, new businesses had sprung up to serve new visitors.The success of other young entrepreneurs, whose cocktail bars and freshly styled motels enlivened Main Street, had emboldened Ms. Prasse and Mr. Kovalsky, who had both snowboarded in Vermont as children and had roamed its back roads for months in search of the perfect place to put down roots.Demographic shifts since the pandemic have brought a new, if tenuous, stability: Ludlow, like other resort towns across Vermont and northern New England, became a haven for remote workers when offices shut down in early 2020. Since then, some of its so-called Covid refugees have moved there permanently, while others now stay for longer stretches in the ski houses and condos perched high above downtown on steep mountain roads.That phenomenon has helped to nudge the state’s population upward, to 645,000 in 2021 from 624,000 in 2019, according to census data. That small increase was nonetheless “gigantic for Vermont,” which has offered incentive grants of up to $10,000 to people willing to move there in recent years, said Joan Goldstein, the state’s commissioner of economic development.It has been enough to spark new confidence in Ludlow. Last year, after seeing more customers even during Vermont’s less scenic “mud season” (early spring) and “stick season” (late fall), Patty Greenwood and her husband decided they could safely give up the second jobs that had long helped them make ends meet while they ran a bookstore on Main Street.“Before Covid, this was a two-season town, summer and winter,” said Ms. Greenwood, whose store across the street from the river suffered minimal damage. “We thought, if there’s ever a time to go for it, this is it.”The state has also become a haven for another kind of newcomer — one likely paying close attention to the floods. People seeking a more stable, safer climate are among those moving in, according to recent research at the University of Vermont.Richard Watts, director of the university’s Center for Research on Vermont, doubts those transplants will be deterred by the record rainfall and what it wrought. “These are people who are studying flood maps and making very careful, conscious choices,” he said. “They can choose to live above the flood line.”On Wednesday, as clouds of dust swirled over sidewalks covered with sand and gravel on Ludlow’s Main Street, and basement pumps and power washers droned, Ms. Prasse and Mr. Kovalsky toiled in mud-caked boots to shore up their battered property. They tried not to dwell on countless unknowns: Would they have to tear down and reconstruct the 200-year-old back building? How much help would come from their bare-bones insurance policy or FEMA? How long would tourists stay away? And most important, how long now until they could open?The rear building by the river had already been “red-noticed,” or labeled uninhabitable, by inspectors, and the power might soon be cut off, forcing them to vacate their second-floor apartment. With a crew of friends and neighbors who had shown up to help as soon as the waters receded, they raised new support beams to hold up the sagging garage, anchoring the supports more than two feet in the ground, and hoping that the rains forecast through the weekend would not result in another flood. Around them, kindnesses multiplied. A neighbor offered them a place to stay. With the local grocery store shut down, several restaurants gave away free food. The liquor store — its hours described on a sign outside as “Open-ish” — handed out free water, and the American Legion post organized a pork chop dinner Friday night to benefit hard-hit residents.Because they had sunk all their savings into the deli, abandoning the project wasn’t an option, the couple said. But even if they could have cut their losses and moved on, the care the town had shown them since the flood had cemented their commitment to stay.“I’m kind of like, we don’t deserve all this; we’re new here,” said Mr. Kovalsky.Ms. Prasse said she hadn’t cried once about the damage. But her eyes filled with tears when she talked about her neighbors.“We haven’t even had a chance to make them a sandwich yet,” she said. Source link Read the full article
