Mr. Davis has three walkers: an old beat-up one that he uses when he goes out to the garden, a nice new one with no wheels that he uses for getting up and down the three steps to his back door and for church and things like that, and he's got a spiffy new one that has wheels, brakes, a basket and a seat, that he uses around the house and also when he goes places like Fred and Helena's. He's also got a motorized chair that he cruises around the neighborhood with. Roy Lee has a lawn tractor that he uses for the same purpose, although he does cut grass with it and other things as well. Sometimes he uses it as a lawn chair if he's cruising around the neighborhood and he stops at our house to shoot the breeze. It's got cup holders (or beer holders, as the case may be).

Roy Lee's got a huge garden in the power line cut behind the houses that he calls his "George Bush" garden. He says he needs that garden because of George Bush. He's a disable Vietnam Vet and inflation is making it necessary for him to grow his own food. Sometimes we find shopping bags full of collards or cabbage hanging from our front door knob. We're going to put a garden in the power line cut, too, this fall. Roy Lee said he'd till it up for us. He said there's deer, foxes, bear, and alligators back there and in the creek behind that. So far none of the wildlife has tried to eat his garden. The neighborhood is surrounded by a meandering tidal creek and a cemetary, and people used to have moonshine stills in the woods between the houses and the creek. Now the city wants to put in a greenspace with a walking trail and a canoe/kayak ramp. Mr. Davis says he'd much rather have a restroom for the neighborhood park than a walking trail and a canoe ramp.
