i biked to belmont this morning, mindful of the rain. i wasn't there long before i went with my parents to the cafe to drop off some supplies (things we bought yesterday at the waltham costco and market basket). next we went back to costco - the everett costco this time - to take full advantage of the tax free weekend, now that we knew what was going on. there seemed to be a lot more items on sale, but we ended not really splurging on anything, mostly just food items which are already tax-free.
