Auckland solves our problems

We have very few problems.  And those that we do encounter have a way of getting solved for us.

For instance, we had to walk over a kilometer to get a good burger.  I know!  It took like eight minutes!  Aaaarghhh!!

And then Auckland solved that for us.  Look what opened across the street yesterday.  They're spectacular.  No more journeying for burgers... we don't even have to put on a jacket to run out for these!

And then there was the problem of crossing Hobson Street between our house and school.  We'd have to watch for cars, wait for them to go past, and then bump the stroller down the curb on one side and bump it back up the curb on the other side.  Whew!  The stress, I tell ya...

And Auckland solved that for us too.  Some construction crews turned up last month, and look what we've got now.
Notice the stripey crossing and the round orange signs.  They make cars stop and wait for us.  And also notice the ramped curbs.  I can navigate the stroller across Hobson now with just one hand.

Hey, Auckland?  I have another problem.  I don't have a million dollars and it's quite inconvenient...

It looks to me like Auckland made all these improvements just for you!

Perhaps a nice thank-you note to Auckland for the improvements would be appropriate and encourage them to consider your other inconvenience...
