Well, my microwave broke last evening. While I was making dinner too, if you count heating up a plate of roast pork as making. The microwave has been flakey for awhile, and seems like it finally gave up the ghost. I never did finish heating up that roast pork. Had to do it the old fashion way: steam. It took relatively forever compared to the minute and a half it would have taken with the microwave.
I caan’t really complain, though. This microwave is a hand-me-down that have lasted for at least a decade. Wished it would have lasted a bit longer but now a perfect excuse to get a model in my preferred finish: stainless.
I guess I am going to Target after work. Unfortunately I can’t go to my local Target, even though it’s within walking distance from home. Due to rampant retail theft in San Francisco, Target is now closing all its San Francisco locations at 6:00PM, instead of the typical 9:00PM. This isn’t so bad for the retiree who can shop during the day, but for the working professional who can’t visit a store until after work, this is a huge inconvenience.
I now how to drive to the Target in Daly City. Talk about not being very environmentally friendly!
A story as old as time: the few ruining it for the many. Hopefully the authorities are working hard to curb the retail theft. Limited store hours are a real inconvenience. Others have it worse: their local Walgreens closing down completely. A key to green, walkable living is having stores close by. Retail theft is a threat to that endeavor. Police and the district attorney’s office have got to get handle on it.
