DAMN YOU, MR. CREEP! / Left and right

I just missed the 410, but the 405 was luckily right behind it; unfortunately, I discovered that a lens was missing from my Fit-Overs, so I had to toss those. Got to the usual meeting place a minute or so before Eric; as he said, “You’re here before 6:30 and so am I! What’s going […]

Pepto-Bismol, Vitamin C, finding corkscrew, French fries, onion rings

After waking up, I decided to go to the pharmacy next door to get some Vitamin C and Pepto-Bismol. I was running out of both items, and was pleased to discover that the Pepto was more than twice the size of the bottle which I bought from Save-On a while ago. The Vitamin C tablets […]
