Libby’s tractor-trailers

Yesterday (Friday, August 31, 2007) at the vaunted Canandaigua YMCA, which welcomed me with open arms, despite -A) continually noisy blustering from West Bridgewater that I’d soon be tossed unceremoniously onto the street, and -B) my lack of an ID key-tag, which had vaporized at mighty Weggers during a comedy of three stroke-induced errors, one of which was losing the key-tag......
.....At least three Libby’s tractor-trailers passed while I was blasting away on the treadmill (which I had inadvertently set at 38 minutes — I usually set it at 36 minutes — so I just did it).
The Canandaigua YMCA is on the main north-south drag through Canandaigua, state Route 332.
And the exercise gym fronts the building, so you can survey the constant parade from your treadmill as the traffic courses by out front.
For all I know it could have been the same Libby’s truck going around in circles — they all look the same.
But the trucks were about two minutes apart, and I don’t think that’s enough time to do a complete circle of Canandaigua.
The railroad-bridge over West Ave. is only 10-foot six-inches, and has already decapitated quite a few semis. Avoiding it would take about 10 minutes.
Libby’s has obviously taken a hint from mighty Weggers. Libby’s semis are shrink-wrapped with huge pictures of attractive vegetables.
A trailer is a rolling billboard.
The Libby’s trucks were probably coming from the Canandaigua Weggers.
Ship the stuff from Weggers’ warehouse in Rochester on a Wegmans truck, and Libby’s doesn’t get the rolling billboard.

  • RE: “despite continually noisy blustering from West Bridgewater that I’d soon be tossed unceremoniously onto the street.....” I was tossed out a physical-therapy facility in Canandaigua because I had inadvertently outed one of their patients, who was a public-figure. My loudmouthed, macho brother-in-Boston, who lives in “West Bridgewater,” jumped on this, and loudly declared I would soon be dumped out of the Canandaigua YMCA. (The YMCA replaced the PT.)
  • I had a stroke October 26, 1993.
  • “Mighty Weggers” is Wegmans, a large supermarket-chain based in Rochester we often buy groceries at. They have a store in Canandaigua.
