shopping for a wedding card at red balloon company, business brisk on a saturday afternoon, the helium tanks arrayed but i had to wonder if they're pumping some other gas into the atmosphere for we lingered as if in a daze, doped on consumer buzz, shopping is the ultimate drug, we giggled at trifles as we fondled all the merchandise. finally settled on a pop-up card w/ push-button birdsong for $16.95. then went next door to rainbow for a vial of vitamin D drops for about the same price, to boost immunity on coming cross-country train trip to minnesota and wisconsin. from there, short walk to ruckus for cbd candy and other sleep potions to knock us out on the 42-hour ride. last stop on this one-block radius retail circuit was penultimate day of Shop Rite, where 70% closeout brought the prices down to almost within reason--but not quite. still, i'm gonna miss that place because convenience is our way of life. |
