For some reason, today feels like the weekend.
Natalie and I visited the downtown, where she stopped by one of her favorite haunts when she was going to high school here—a place called the "Malt Shoppe"—and ordered a butterscotch milkshake.
It was not really drinkable, according to Natalie, and after a couple of sips, she threw it away. Sic transit gloria mundi.
We walked Shiloh up and down the riverwalk, and it was beneficial for all concerned. At one point, when a woman walking two small dogs came into view, Shiloh obediently sat on command. This elicited a very positive comment from the woman, but it was clear—from her wording—that she thought it was a miracle that any dog could be made to sit on command.
A modicum of work came in this morning, which can be deferred until after Natalie leaves tomorrow.
On the way home, we stopped at the organic/natural market downtown that opened in the building where the Copper Penny liquor store used to be. (As an aside, how a liquor store might go out of business in this town is a pretty puzzling prospect, as all of these establishments—two at this end of town and two at the other—seem to all have no shortage of traffic passing through them all year round.)
The prices did not seem as ridiculously high as before, although I did see a jar of "Manuka" honey, from New Zealand, on sale for about $22 for a one-pound jar, which is about three times what all other brands were selling for. Other types of this same honey available on Amazon are offered at $50 for a one-pound jar! According to some of the blurb I read, the honey has antibacterial properties.
Cheers...
