Also! Fellow white people: remember to use your privilege for good. This couple was (and presumably still are) Black. I'm a middle-aged white man with metric tons of privilege and the folks at the hardware store know me very well. So I was able to borrow a tool from the shop without paying for it. (an ultra long grabby claw thing that we were able to squeeze in a crack to unlock the door)

I want to go to a bookstore. My local one is only 1.5 miles away so normally I'd just walk it. Occassionally I might bike it if time was tight. But I'm still recovering and have had several setbacks this weekend, including tripping/falling last night. I caught myself but not w/o undoing some healing. So walking/biking are out. I looked at public transit and it's two buses with a layover. That's silly for something only 1.5 miles away. So that leaves driving. :/ I'll probably just skip it.
