Phoenix musings
While traveling in Phoenix this week, I’ve noticed that outdoor malls have included music in the landscaping. The same with the botanical garden at my hotel. Are we that incapable of going from our cars to the store without being inundated with atmosphere? Personally, I like silence. I think we need more time by ourselves and our thoughts, without distraction.
Also, I stopped by Ultimate Electronics to buy a battery for my pedometer. After finding the right one, the sales assistant asked if I wanted a bottle of water. I was stunned as he went and got one for me. Don’t most stores charge $1.25 for aqua? Is this a desert thing? Still wondering about this.
