the rix mix

Out for a stroll over to CVS, just a breath pushing the 85º air around. Many of the houses around here have porches & people were sitting out on a few of them even with a/c running inside. That's what porches are for. Seems less than quaint in this heat, & tomorrow & the day after will be like they say scorchers. Oddly, I bought a heating implement, an inexpensive iron. I don't need to iron very often but when you do you're really stuck if you don't have one, & I have at least two items right now that require it. CVS is an alright 15 minute browse, popular for longer than that with females for its cosmetic aisles & good lighting, as I used to notice in Rahway; the one there did a much better business in that stuff than nearby Walgreens or Brug Fair. I like the stationary aisle, all the pens, notebooks, calculators & school doodads I no longer need. But I think it's a bummer for kids & teachers to walk into stores mid-summer in 90+ temps & get smacked with the "Back to School" displays.
