OK, more complaining about the apocalypse outside:

Dark by 3:20 p.m. Gusts of wind stripping the last few leaves from Main Street's trees. Solid, steady rain soaking the awning and bargain table. The lights continuously flickering but not actually having the courtesy to go off and let me leave for the day. Sporadic customers, 100% saturated and alternately grouchy or shell-shocked. Stunned-looking crackheads, shopping cart trundlers, and fake $20 passers streaming up the hill, toward higher ground. I draped my soaked canvas coat over the office radiator, where it promptly formed the indoor equivalent of tule fog.
