got warm enough

to sit out on the front porch in the afternoon for a while.....coming back inside, the house smells like pot-roast....which is a good thing.....I went over to Laurens for a guitar string, and some more of that whitening mouthwash from Wal*Mart.....they have the best price on that.....where Wal*Mart used to be, across the highway from where it is now, they put in Tractor Supply, and some fashion store, and Big Lots, and now a discount grocer called Save A Lot....all in the same building....I should go check out Tractor Supply again, I think they might have Dickies flannel shirts......I have one that I wear almost all the time, maybe should get another one.....the parking lot for those new stores had a lot of cars.....the music store looked like it was doing OK, staying in business anyway....I was afraid for a while there that he might give it up, and then I wouldn't have anyplace for strings or whatever....but he says things are steady.....he's retired from some place anyway, so I guess he doesn't worry too much about making money off the store....
