Hurried off to the farm market first. Saw the first tomatoes and peas of the summer season. They were still fairly busy at 10:30, despite it already being in the 80's by then. I grabbed cherries, Colby cheese from the dairy booth, yellow peaches from the orchard booth, blueberries, and whole-wheat sandwich bread from one of the bakery booths.
Stopped at WaWa on my way home for a much-needed smoothie. Grabbed a Pina colada smoothie for now and a turkey wrap for a quick dinner later. I thought they'd be busy with people getting cold drinks. I must have just missed the breakfast crowd.
When I got home, I made my bed, put everything away, and had lunch while watching Leo on Netflix. I go further into this animated tale about a class pet who helps the kids with their problems at my Musical Dreams Movie Reviews blog.
Switched to Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood while getting ready for work. The kids go on a "Safety Patrol" as Prince Tuesday teaches them about basic road signs. stop lights, and how to be safe in their neighborhood. Mrs. Tiger reminds Katerina and Dan that "Safety On the Beach" is equally important. They have to remember not to go in the water without a grown up and not go where the grown-up can't see them.
Called Uber for a ride to work the moment Daniel Tiger ended. I got away with the five-minute ride to Collingswood this morning, but by quarter of 2, the temperature had risen to 97. It was just too hot for a bike ride. The rider going to work arrived in 9 minutes. The one going home only took 5, despite it being past 6 when I contacted them.
Work could have been a lot worse. Yes, I had to push carts, but I made sure to do it in 20-30 minute intervals. When I got too hot, I'd go inside and put things away or water plants. I even made an arrangement with lovely orange roses. They provided water for people working outside in the employee's room. It helped that it was pretty quiet, especially later, and for once, there was plenty of help. I was in and out with no trouble.
After I got home, I went straight in the shower, then spent the rest of the night with dinner and the Match Game marathon. Basically, this was another random episode marathon, likely because the owner of the channel is busy with his other businesses at the moment. We saw highlights of the show's peak years from 1973 through 1977.
Robert Morse tried to help a young woman figure out what Friday does with Robinson Crusoe that makes him go crazy behind Gene's back in a memorable episode from 1974. Another '74 episode had Gunilla Hudson showing off the writing on the rear of her colorful trousers. Nipsey Russell happily flirted with a lovely teacher later in the show. Earl, the little guy who pulled the Audience Match answers out, also fell for a pretty lady who made her own clothes in the episode where someone in the audience gave Gene and the regulars flowers. There was also the incident with everyone arguing over whether "spot" matches "puddle" and "little yellow spot" from 1974 and the long-lost PM episode from 1977 with Brett fluttering her fan and Gene saying a few regrettable things to a Japanese-American gentleman (that he at least took well).
Celebrate the most fruitful years on the show in this hilarious marathon!
