ismoAnother perfectly good day frustrated! At least in terms of going outside. The wild fire smoke from Canada is still brooding in our skies, and they finally went so far as to issue an air quality warning. I went out to buy some groceries this morning, and perceived the eerie haze over everything. It even seemed to me that it smelled like smoke, though that might have been just someone's barbecue, who knows. The Sparrowhawk expressed a mild preference that I not go out some more and possibly do myself harm, and I was busy making light of this notion, when I fell prey to an even more extravagant coughing fit than usual. He was too nice to say a word, so I had to admit in my own words that he could be right . . . .
While in the grocery store, I noticed that they've set up a more prominent display of fancy hard liquor. In general, I deprecate this because I know it's just another manifestation of consumerism and they're trying to get the customer hooked into buying more expensive ways to poison oneself. HOWEVER. I can be tempted just as easily as the next virtuous philosopher. In this case, tempted and intrigued by a bottle of something called Paczski Day Vodka from Detroit City Distillery. It contains Michigan and Polish potatoes distilled with raspberry paczski from Hamtramck. "As tradition calls, this fan-favorite spirit is back, bringing its signature flavor of glazed, buttery raspberry paczki in every sip." Even as I type this, I feel an internal impulse to go back to the store right now and yield to temptation. I might have to do that tomorrow. After all, we are having guests in a couple of weeks.
