miko2It's nearly 2 am and it's raining. It hasn't rained for the last couple of days -- not very much anyway, just enough to smear the dust around on my car windshield. Bits of white fluff have been drifting all over the countryside -- cottonwood I think. It's almost like snow in some places down in Auburn where I work; it's all over the place, drifting across the road, flying into the windshield as I drive.
Friday the 13th is over. Stephanie at work was actually kind of freaked out when she realized that Friday the 13th was coming, because her son was at camp. ^_^ But nothing much happened... well actually, the Mariners seemed to break out of their long streak of bad luck and clobbered the Red Sox for 14 runs. Maybe too much bad luck on a Friday the 13th actually reversed their fortunes somehow.
I stopped at QFC on the way home. I still want to call it Art's. Anyway I grabbed one of their canvas bags on the way in, thinking that it would be a good idea to buy one and use it to keep from collecting so many plastic or paper bags. The sign said they were $4.89 or something like that. Of course, they wound up at the bottom of my basket so I unloaded it for the clerk... but he still asked me if plastic was okay, and I said yes without thinking. Then he saw the canvas bag and set it aside, and asked if it was okay to put the beer in it. I said yes, and then he apologized for saying beer because of course I don't drink beer, I had two six-packs of bottled Thomas Kemper root beer and grape soda. Anyway, I ran around the register to put my basket back in the stack behind him, and I was busy writing out my check and remembering to have my QFC savings card scanned, and it didn't even occur to me until after I left that he had not charged me for the canvas bag. And in fact, it doesn't actually have a price tag on it... how are they supposed to know that I'm purchasing it now, instead of it being something I already own? But I guess I should tell them to charge me for it next time. ^_^
