rain_gryphonAt the store earlier, I came across a wet stripe on the floor. This, plus the whooshing noise, gave me to believe that a floor-washing machine was being used. Well... It came around the corner just then, and no-one was driving it. It had an operator's station and all, but was driving itself. I walked in front of it to see if it would run me over, but it stopped and beeped until I had cleared the way. The March of Progress!
I considered hopping into the seat, and seeing if I could go for a ride, but didn't.

Guy at the store, chatting with clerk about a product he was buying, which both agreed was shamefully overpriced: "Well, I'm retarded though, so I guess I'll pay that much."

I bought a couple small succulent plants. They're not labelled, and I've not a clue what they are, but they look interesting. I really miss the Conservatory, with its Palm House salvaged from the 1892 World's Fair. Such a wonderful Winter destination. Also the Bird Jungle at the Zoo. No better place to go during a sleet storm, when one could have the Birds to oneself for hours, sometimes.
