On this PARTICULAR visit to the grocery store, this happened:

1. @ 9:30. Arrive at store.
2. @ 9:35 "Oh! Borders! Honey, I want to see the Kobo!"
3. @ 9:40 Husband explains that Ana has 4 eReaders already and that the store doesn't open until 11.
4. Grocery shopping: 1 hour.
5. @10:30. "Oh! Borders! Are they open now? Honey, I want to see the Kobo!"
6. @10:35 Husband patiently explains that the groceries are melting in the 100 degree weather.
7. @10:40 Ana notices 20+ people waiting in 100 degree heat to get into Borders as Husband drives them (Ana and Husband, not the other shoppers) home. Some of the people are peering in the glass doors like hungry zombies. Ana reflects on the irony that Borders is going out of business while people wait in the heat to buy things. Ana enjoys a smug moment of schadefraude before realizing she can't spell that word. Mmmmm... cheesy bread from grocery store. Yum.
