gridloreOr, at least, a momentary break from life at Offhand Manor during the siege.
There were several errands that needed to be done. We were out of taco seasoning, Darby needed to be filled, a couple of things had to go into the post, and I had a prescription to pick up. Now, there was a perfectly logical way to line those errands up. One that, given my years of trip-setting experience as both a driver and a dispatcher, you would think I would have taken.
Fuck that. I took the long way. This will only make sense to locals, but from Costco where I filled up, I headed east to 880 North, to 101 North, all the way to Lawerence Expressway. From there I dropped down to El Camino Real where all my destinations lay waiting.
I skipped the bank because the line literally wrapped around the building. I couldn't find the mailbox that was supposedly in the same shopping center as my pharmacy, which was annoying. Got in and out of Rite Aid quickly. At Smart&Final I found the last jar of taco seasoning and gave into temptation and bought a 30-pack of Budweiser. I like it, and it's a good beer on a hot summer day. I really am not in the mood to hear from beer snobs on this, OK?
Which left the mail. Luckily, there is a mail processing station not too far from us and they have a mailbox. I'll try again tomorrow for the laundry quarters. Also, Darby needs a bath, badly.
About 16 miles and lots of time to listen to SiriusXM's Liquid Metal and just be outside. I also had a fun conversation about legalized weed with a nice lady that mortified her kid.
