Rainy Day in Florida

We awoke to a dark day and a background roar of heavy rain. Since we needed a few items preferably obtained at Costco, today seemed the appropriate day to go. I piloted the car once more onto the six-lane roads taking us there, obtaining along the way further lessons in patience.

These lights faithfully turn green every hour.

Costco is nestled by a large shopping area we chose to explore. A generous and thoughtful provision by TJ Maxx was this exterior sitting room, a place where wives can park their husbands.

A few hammocks would have been great but this was still

very nice. I've never seen anything like it back home.

 In Montreal I've sometimes had to improvise.

Mid-afternoon the rain came down in a fury as though being hurled to the ground. Thunder boomed and skylights over the sidewalk roof turned into drums.

Question: Why did Ed leave his umbrella in the trunk of the car?

The Costco had one of those relatively new un-flat screen TVs on display. The screen has concave curvature which produces a subtle 3-D effect, at least from a distance of about 8 feet. It's a worthwhile innovation. It improves the realism of the picture. It likely has a future.
