It's weird how I go about my life, acting as though it does not exist. \nIt seems like a good (far better than Dominion- excuse me, \"Metro\") place to buy things like nuts and dried fruits and candy, were I so inclined (I am not, to that last one). Their walnuts were on sale nearly two dollars off the pound. And I got some \"white\" popcorn and I think I am going to start buying my spices here, too. Times are tough, after all.\n\nI hung around, taking my own damn time, more than five minutes after they closed, unbeknownst to me. The girl laughed a little when I tried to remember the bin numbers off the top of my head (I couldn't and didn't have to) and when I sort of dropped my stuff (I was carrying a lot of bags), and profusely apologized for overstaying my welcome. But she let me take my own damn time, so it's ai-ight.\n\nI think I may have just entered my bulk years."^^ . "3"^^ . . "0"^^ .
