    Wow, all kinds of memories bringing instant images. Our pharmacy went Rexall while I was in high school. There was no escalator in our big variety store, which was a W T Grant's. I remember a bare squeaky wood floor, tanks of very sad tropical fish. I scoured the paperback racks for anything new from Heinlein or the annual Nero Wolfe Mystery, which came out like clockwork. For sci-fi pulps and Pogo books we had to go to Rochester.

    There was a brief time in Junior High when I figured that requesting thoughts for a penny and getting their two cents worth netted me a cent every time. I don't know that I ever actually handed someone a penny for the thought, but I may have handed a perplexed person two pennies when I was offering them the benefits of my deep experience.

    I spent most of Junior High looking for new ways to perplex people.
