Cold? What cold? Oh that cold.

So there's more snow heading this way on Super Bowl Sunday. That's ok. I don't really have to go anywhere until Tuesday. I did have to go to CVS to pick up a prescription. This should not be a big production. There was only one other person there. I was there 2 days before and it was the same scenario, only 1 other person waiting. That day I waited for about 9 minutes and was never acknowledged. Their counter is divided into 3 sections. 1 to place an order, 1 for consultation and 1 for pick-up. The flaw in this set up is that there's nobody at these stations. There were 2 women behind the counter. You could see the tops of their heads, hear chatter and the sound of pills rattling around. I was getting a little testy. I wanted to say something but instead I just walked out. After getting another one of their annoying phone calls about picking up my prescription, I knew I had to go because I don't want to go out tomorrow save for going next door to watch the football game.

So I went in again today. I waited about the same amount of time until someone finally came over. I didn't say anything but I am considering shifting back to Osco. They aren't quite as close by but things always went more smoothly there.

CVS is like Dunkin' Donuts. They are all over the place around here. There are 10 Dunkin' Donuts in my city alone and we are not a big city, about 58,000. Their coffee is fine but the donuts are on a par with supermarket donuts which means the are low on the donometer readings. The small independent shops all offer superior donuts. Donuts are one of the few luxuries I allow myself. I get one when I go to work. A honey dipped cruller. Fortunately I don't work more than 3 days.

It's about 9 degrees, and that's here in my man cave (Insert rim shot here). The wind is gusting to 30-40 mph. Once again I congratulate the public works people for doing a great job on the roads. I was out for about an hour this morning and all the roads I drove on were down to bare pavement. Still there is plenty of snow piled up with more on the way. Maybe even another 12 inches.

Last night Arlene and I talked about our up trip to you know where at the end of May. We also talked about alternatives places to go. New Hampshire has many places all of which are within a 3 hour drive. New Hampshire is a beautiful place. I don't see myself ever boarding a plane again and that's fine with me though in fantasy I would like to back to Washington D.C. and to London.

That wind is howling out there so I go back in my mind, to the beach at Oak Bluffs at sunrise. It could be 65 degrees which sounds tropical compared to today. It's quiet except for the lapping of the waves. That's what we talked about last night, the week of our little trip. That's still about 3 months away.

That's a plastic stool saving a parking space.

That flag has been straight out all day. 

I guess it's time to find something else to do. There's always something to do.

I'm outta here.
