I forgot to say in my last post that
a) thankfully they're saying today will be the hottest and it'll get a lot less hot the next few days, although still in the low 80s

and
b) this weekend is the state's "tax-free holiday" weekend which is part of why we wanted to go shopping at this point. No sales tax on anything. Almost makes me wish there were some big-ticket item that I needed and could afford ... ah well.

Wow! That would be incredible here. It would be bigger than Christmas. I can imagine... Everything 10% off in every store... the stores open for 24 hours... the shoppers carting away TV sets, washing machines, SUVs... Qantas grabbing Jumbo jets...

Won't happen.

LOL. Well, it's only for these two days. It's a thing they do to try to kick-start the economy. And I don't think any stores are open 24 hours, except the ones that normally are anyway... :)
