Driving up and down the mountains from Puriscal to Santa Ana and San
Jose is a real hassle. The roads are okay—they’re paved, two lane highways
where you can expect to maintain 40 KPH unless you get behind a bus, truck, or
just a slow driver. Then you might be stuck the entire trip to your
destination.
Motorcycles are everywhere and they don’t think twice about
passing on the left or the right, regardless of the presence of oncoming
traffic. I’ve gasped several times as a Honda 125 passes on a blind hairpin
turn only to face an oncoming gravel truck or city bus that cannot make room
for the speeding cyclist as he darts in and out of traffic. It is only the
modest speed on the mountain roads that save us all from disaster.
The FedEx package I mailed yesterday arrived in NYC at the
Church Pension Group office at 9:50 am. Deadline met! Retirement Application
reached the CPG office before the end of the month.
I will get my church
retirement benefits starting in March!
