It was about 6:30 last night and after running a few errands I still needed to go to the pet store and get fresh kitty litter. (And by 'get' I mean, pay for the litter and have it delivered.)
Michael suggested I call the store and see if I could order it over the phone and pay either by credit card over the phone or with cash when it was delivered.
Sure enough, I was able to do just that! With no more effort than dialing the phone I had a fresh bag of kitty litter sitting in the apartment in about an hour.
This is a great place to live!
