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.
