Mrs. GeneJockey is sending me listings on Realtor that are in Buffalo NY. I remember how much snow falls there. I think her plan is to have us retire there, then kill me with snow shovelling the first winter, sell up and move somewhere else.

Lots of 'em in CA. You are given a choice of those, or heavier plastic bags that are much thicker than those filmy single use ones.

Food Lion is a good one indeed.

I wonder if everyone says they're going to Bob Loblaws? I know I would.

Here's another good one from out west

Looks like Overwaitea is history now. Pour one out for 'em. I'd visited the Squamish and Penticton locations.
