Let the hard times roll

  Well, here we are again, parked behind the 12th St. McDonald's to use their wifi... only this time, there's a dog in the car because we had to vacate the house so some people could look at it. Got up pre-dawn to clean. Although I'm not sure why: anyone who's shopping in our neighborhood couldn't be picky enough to pass on a house because the mirrors were smudged..

  The most merciful thing for all parties concerned would be to burn it down and flee the scene. But no. It hasn't rained in awhile and I don't want to be held responsible if the whole state goes up.

  The only person really enjoying this day is the guy dressed up in a robe and crown, dancing on the sidewalk. Liberty Tax Service hires sign-wavers to advertise, and that may be the one "now hiring" sign in town I haven't inquired about. Sooner or later I'll have to go in there...

  Hard times all around!
