new school year

you would expect after four years one would learn but i obviously have not.

this afternoon i battle rabid traffic under a baking sun for the privilege of paying through my late nose for J2's must-have-by-tomorrow school supplies. as per previous years, half the population is of the same mind at the same place. the line to pay snakes the perimeter of the store. the only thing keeping me in line is the thought that if i skip out i will just need to re-play this after i cook dinner.
