Alternate Uses

Although I wasn't able to use the wagon O gave me for its originally-intended purpose, I've still found it useful. With mbernardi coming in a couple of days, I had to head over to Target to get some more linens (and replace those damaged by Ben's little difficulty) and also to get a new microwave oven. (The old one blew out a couple of months ago. Conventional ovens are still preferable for many purposes, but microwaves are so convenient for certain things...) Even if it weren't so hot today, and even if I weren't getting the microwave, carrying those bulky linens half a mile or so would have been a sweaty business. The wagon, though, made it a breeze. (It's much better than those two-wheeled, fold-up grocery carts, for my purposes; those don't have much carrying capacity, and they've always seemed fragile to me. No fear of either of those with a Radio Flyer!)

That done, I indulged myself by blitzing through HP7. I found it a reasonably satisfying read, all things considered, but it'll be a long while before I reread the series.
