Licensespotting 2

Today I spotted a license plate that said, in part: CUBS WIN

It seemed fitting that this license was from the same state as Dorothy, Toto, the Scarecrow, and the Tin Man. A wonderful, nice thing, but, sigh, still a fantasy.

If only!

Salad Cream

My local grocery store is remodeling—again! They do this
every three to four years. "Re-engineered for Your Improved Shopping
Experience." Shaken, not stirred; nary a product left unmoved. Hapless
customers wandering around the maze and griping about the disturbance.

I didn’t want to get too close and my camera [...]

Cold
