An ode to the wonders of Texas summers is composed in your head as you pace down the parking lot toward the bomb-scare Wells-Fargo bank. The ode is only one word, and could not be recited on television or radio. Every pore will be pouring sweat before you can stuff two twenties into a wallet that is really worse for wear. Waiting patiently behind the SUV that always seems to beat you to these drive through contraptions, you absent-mindedly consider visiting the furniture store across the way and looking for a cheap, but nicer coffee table. In a year, that store won’t be there. It’ll be replaced by another branch of the very same bank you’re about to patronize. Step up and Swipe. Bemoan the two-dollar service fee. Sure enough, sweat is staining your undershirt.

Forty dollars should be plenty. Try not to get hit by the green Saturn on the way back.
