Potential Signs of the Apocalypse?

In part because of the lack of work that was accomplished, due to the hours spent cleaning last night, this morning things were a little hectic in the workplace.

This meant I spent from 8:30 until noon outside cleaning what we refer to as "The Backyard", which in reality is the alley behind the store. We keep our pallets (plastic and wooden) back there, as well as our cardboard bales, milk crates and other extraneous things t hat will not fit into our tiny stockroom until some organization has been imposed upon it. And while this doesn't sound so bad, today it was 105 degrees outside. For real.

Right after I finished, the skies opened and we had a minor deluge. The highlight of that for me was Uncle Jebb walking our customers out to their cars on by one, under a giant golf umbrella. He was soaked to the bone in a matter of minutes. That's service, people.
