T Minus One Day

Went to Santa Fe yesterday for bike repairs and made the following purchases:

$4.86 -- 3 Presta-to-Schrader valve converters for pumping bike tires
$ .55 -- 3 manuscript-sized manila envelopes for story submissions
$1.34 -- 1st class postage for mailing one story

Total: $6.75. Seems like nothing, I know, but buying those envelopes and mailing the story gave me pause. The story is virtually guaranteed to be rejected, so why spend the money, time, & emissions to ship it across the country? I suspect ego involvement.
