The wind shifted to the southwest and brought in warm air. It must have been twenty degrees warmer today than yesterday. The sky remained overcast, but there was no rain except a few sprinkles in late afternoon.
Roy had his hair cut. One of the worst cuts of his entire life, certainly the worst since I've known him. I took one look and ran off screaming. I could have done a better job of cutting it myself, and I can't cut hair for beans. I told him I'd give him a bottle of hair tonic for his birthday to help it grow out.
Bought a few groceries at Farm Fresh. I think the scale at the check-out counter was overweighing by a pound. I had three apples that couldn't have weighed more than a pound-and-a-half. The scale showed two-and-a-half pounds, so I refused them. A bag of loose cookies weighed nearly three pounds. I knew that was wrong, but I was in a hurry to catch the bus, as they only run once an hour, so I rather stupidly paid for them and left. When I got to the boat, I weighed them on our scale and had Roy heft them. Also compared them with the weight of a two-pound package of chicken, which definitely weighed more than the bag of cookies. Roy and I agreed the cookies weighed about one-and-a-half pounds. I phoned the store and talked with the Service Manager. She said they check the scales every day and they can't be off by one-hundredth of an ounce. She said she'd recheck the scale, and she also told me to bring in the receipt and she'd refund the two dollars I thought I was overcharged.
