In less whiny news

The Stah Mahket Shaw's at Porter is open 24 hours again, just like it was when I first moved here nearly six years ago. This is a good thing. I just visited and bought some phoney-baloney bagels, which is better than no bagels at all, esp. since I v. much wanted a hot buttered bagel and didn't want to go to Dunkies for it. (Also discovered that Shaw's has a half-price bin for day-olds, but all it had it in was, like, bulkie rolls.)

I remember the staff being a little wacky this late, and it's once again true. Sadly they turn off the self-service lanes overnight so you have to interact with checkout clerks. Mine was wearing weird little sunglasses, and I wondered at first if he was blind, but it didn't seem so. Maybe he was a vampire. He really liked the brand of bagels I had chosen and talked at length about how much he loves to eat them straight out of the package, except then he has to wash his hands after. ?!.
