I've been known to reserve the walmart run for 9 or 10 at night too. Oddly in Texas that doesn't work though. The grocery stores here stay packed with long lines late into the evening. If you suffer through the heat of the day, however, there's hardly ever a line. An odd difference I've noted between the South and other regions is that in the South waiting 20+ minutes in the line to check out is considered normal. Elsewhere, you never wait that long unless the machine went down or somebody decided to write a check.Scary! I go to walmart first thing in the morning or not at all.. just too much chaos later.
I need to get out and water the plants really well today sometime. The grape vine looks chewed on and rough, although the jasmine and honeysuckle are doing fine. I popped out earlier to move my car so the shed can be relocated, and to take out the trash. I almost melted carrying the baby. Little toaster oven!
