Checks deposited. Library books returned, and checked out. Book that has been on hold for a week located still on shelf at library that should have sent it. (I first asked on Thursday, but they wanted to give it a full week since the courier schedule had changed. I'm a bit grumpy about this, really, but ohwell.)
Did not go to park. Well, went BY park. This is the town center park, for those who know the area, sorta behind the movie theater and Fry's, the one with the Korean War memorial. I started my trip out by coming toward the park from the north (movie theater side) since that lined me up for the other two and I could check out parking and decide if I even cared.
I didn't. I oh so very didn't. The street, including reserved parking, toward the park? Full. Park parking lot? Full, except where cordoned off for this shindig. Parking in adjacent shopping area's lot? Mostly full. The first unoccupied space I saw that did not have someone pulling into it was in front of the "in" door for Lamb's Thriftway. If you know the area, you understand why I didn't want to be anywhere in the park. If you don't.... It's probably at least a quarter-mile from Lamb's to the park. And the park? The park is not that large. In fact, it's really rather small....
I cower. In fear. Also, in air conditioning. There are garage sales in my neighborhood today, a gathering in the park that probably violates the laws of physics (and certainly violates the laws of comfort) in how many people it has crammed in to one space, and I think I am trying very hard to stay indoors allllll the rest of today now.

But I digress... How often have you ever seen such a gathering held in a space that was just right? It breaks many of the corollaries of Murphy's Law, not the least of which is "The number of people who show up for an expectedly small gathering is inversely proportional to the size of the space alloted."
