Bearing the Summer

We're in September and that means summer is officially over -- so it's time to admit that I don't think I used the air-conditioner one time this year. Basically what I'd do is 'air' the place out over the evenings (i.e. keep all the windows open) till morning when I'd close everything up -- and that way stay cool the whole following day. It worked!

Amazon and the Chicago Police

So I go this afternoon to the Amazon Pick-up place at Clark & Diversey. I went simply to get my order of a new holding case for my cellphone. Unfortunately, not so for the awful staff -- they called the police and dragged me out of the place. Is this how they treat customers? Sorry, but no way!
