You can't take it with you

This was a day for standing in lines.  There was a long line at the bank and a short but slow line at the farm stand where I stopped to get corn and a medium line at the pharmacy pick-up window.

I got two refills, and since I don't usually run out of these two at the same time, when the clerk rang up the cost at $85, I was slightly startled.  But, I'm required to have these -- they are heart-attack-survivor drugs.

Still, I am a senior citizen on social security, the famous fixed income, and I was thinking how much I would rather spend the 85 bucks on something else.  But then I realized I couldn't spend it on anything if I was dead, so I shut up.
