I listed 15 things last night, did some practice, the usual things.
Today it was hot (it cooled all the way down to 81 in here overnight) and I packed what I could find, pack, and wasn't so big I'd need the trailer. It's Monday after all.
I took off with about 8 things, and ended up behind a hee-yuge lady stuffing things into the chute ahead of me. I asked her if she was selling on Ebay, and she said she was using a service called Poshmark where she just sends the clothes to them and they take care of it. Of course after her, the chute jammed. She probably jams up the plumbing where she lives routinely. I just stacked my things onto/into the big stack of things by the counter.
I rode up to Dai Thanh for chicory coffee and little cucumbers, then to 99 Ranch for yet another brand of wheat gluten to try, then H Mart where I planned to get some diet soda for when Ken's over. I'd decided the 12-pack of diet 7-Up would be the way to go, as while it's a bit expensive at $8 it would last me a while. I figured I'd get it and butter, but then I checked the butter there they didn't have "Producers" brand which I like.
So I walked over to Sprouts where I got Organic Valley butter, which is supposed to be about the only brand that says grass-fed and actually is so. Then I got another bag of olives at Home Goods, which is fine except I realized on my walk back that I'd just spent too much to be able to get the 12-pack of soda. chances are Ken will just want tea, though, as he did on his last visit.
On the way back from H Mart I thought I was being followed by a zombie on a bike so I started thinking about what to do about this. I was close to Tom's place so I rode over there and spent some time hanging out with James who had just gotten a huge squirrel cage blower with a motor, almost as tall as him and he's pretty tall. I'm still not clear how he got it to Tom's shop. We talked a bit and raved about the blower and James had that kind of "high" one gets when one's gotten a big, in this case literally, score.
I took off for here, got in and put things away, burned this week's sensitive papers (anything with any address or data on it at all) and that was my day.
The doom on Reddit is becoming more realistic. For instance, several years ago it was normal for people to talk about fleeing to the Pacific Northwest.

While the very worst air in that chart is in Canada, at an AQI of 1000, towns in the Pacific Northwest are right close behind. Summers of temps over 100 as a matter of routine, and every inbred neo-Nazi wanting to move to the New White Homeland, no thanks.
