My birthday's coming, but I think I might be skipping a few decades and a generation or two. This afternoon, I had to go to the pharmacy to pick up not just one but two prescriptions for myself. I ended up in line behind an elderly couple who were arranging to rent a wheelchair, which took a little while. My eyes wandered. Were the hearing-aid batteries on sale? Nope; no need to buy any otherwise. Hey, candy! Smack in front of me was a big display of sweets in bright red and yellow two-for-a-dollar bags - the good old stuff, like cinnamon bears, circus peanuts, chocolate-covered cherries, sugared-jelly orange and cherry slices, lemon drops... I bought myself a bag of orange slices and a bag of cinnamon bears. Heaven stuck to your teeth. Unfortunately, the pharmacy was out of my mentholated nose drops, so I had to go home with only one prescription.
Forecast: Significant blowing and drifting, with the possibility of heavy accumulation in rural areas.
