Odd observations made after returning home from a long work-week:

...

Being greeted by a huge, very long- legged, skinny spider in the bathroom sink- I went to grab an empty jar, n momentarily lost sight of it, but soon spied her hanging on a web off the side of the commode tank n slipped the jar right under her, perfectly catching her unharmed to release outdoors.

.

While putting dirty work clothes on the laundry pile noticing alot of quickly crawling, tiny sugar ants swarming under them! Well, my workclothes do get covered with all kinds of sugar, (glaze, frosting, powder, ect), n it is located above the downstairs kitchen wall, which may explain a second story ant work detail. So before showering I had to dig out some ant traps (I had for the deck), n put the sugary clothing in a large bucket of hot water, out of ant detection. Luckily, later no more ants were observed in the area (n without the use of spray!)

.

Tropical humid air, n hot temperatures, in the fourth week of September in the NorthEast for Day Off, altho intermittently raining n windy, the windows are open, no shoes or sleeves required!

.

Alot of early evening traffic was out there for a Tuesday. I waited a long time for each stop to turn while driving around town for errands. It was not my normal, low-key run.

.

My fave market across town moved all my weekly items- (I hate that!- Takes longer). Strange, empty shelf spaces were seen there. An unbelievable amount of food items were on sale, (even my organic cookies), many for only a dollar! I spent very little n loaded up. (I don't get it- What's going on?)

.

I drove all the way down the store-front lane at the plaza near my village, noting almost every store has closed or moved! TJ Max, Fashion Bug, Fayva, Sears, all gone! The only ad for an incoming business was for a "Dollar Store." The survivors include Stop n Shop, Walmart, Auto Zone, n the Laundry Mat. All are trying to move to a new plaza on the west-end of town. We may soon have nothing left here...

(If only I were a billionaire who could find viable businesses for all these vacant buildings, I could make more billions).

.

The stores I went to were all packed with folks on a Tuesday (not payday), very unusual! Long checkout lines grew fast, n few open registers were available.

.

I've been looking for a replacement for my old comforter. Today I scored one for the unbelievable amount of eleven bux! When's the last time I saw a price like that? (The old one cost twenty a decade ago-). Maybe the bedbugs on the news is the reason. Given my recent fun with insects, It'll go to the laundrymat before using.

I don't know why, but today was different- Wonder what'll happen tomorrow...
