hooray for Captain Spalding

I found the other grocery store. The one that actually has the things I couldn't believe the other one didn't have. Most of the things in the larger store are cheaper, but there are some odd exceptions. Cheerios, for example, are cheaper in the smaller store. The larger store is three blocks up from the smaller one, but it's on a road that looks like it goes out into the boonies, and you can't see the larger store from the smaller one. I hiked up there the other day looking for an outpost of civilization, and found it in the Tops Friendly Market, which knows about frozen fruit (and several other things that make me happy, including the World's Second Smallest Broiler Pan).

The upshot of the whole expedition is, I'm considerably happier than I was a couple of days ago (thanks in large part to a phone call from whuffle), and the weather is behaving very nicely, and I'm sort of waiting for it to rain so all the salt and sand and accumulated gunk gets washed off the sidewalks. As a matter of record, on February 27th I went out in bare feet to go pick up the mail. The season of "Dammit, I'm tired of wearing socks!" has started. It must be almost spring.

Yay! Civilization does still exist somewhere out in a suburb near you. And just to make you even happier, I can tell you now, that myself and Navraze and your cousin H- are putting together a lovely care package for you. It includes all the things we talked about the other day, and then some! I found dried currants for you, and as I write this, my computer is burning some old cassettes to CD for you. (I got the first generation tapes off my dad for a couple of the ones that have become your favorites over the years. Soon you will have the first CD versions of these. Not second or third generation tapes.) I also have more goodies for your scrap book. I may not be there to add them in but I can sure send you things to add in for me! I'm glad that calling helped. Any time, Chica.
