This is why I avoid taking Mrs. GeneJockey to Costco.

I shop a few times per week. Part of it is a lack of planning, the other part is foods that don't have a long shelf life. Whether I take the car or the bike, I rarely have more than could fit in to two saddle bags. Then again, housing location could be a big factor. Having lived in NYC, I have a firm belief that city dwellers should be within walking distance to a grocery store or three.

I never liked the Pretenders and found their songs irritating (sorry). One night, I think it was early this year, I listened to a 1 hour show on public radio with her. She had assembled an album of songs which were mostly her covering other writer's songs and she had various musicians with her. It was really good and I was surprised and quite pleased. Lots of questions were asked about music, her past, and life in general. She seemed intelligent, thoughtful, and opinionated. Very impressive.

I generally hate fake reggae, but Waste Not, Want Not is one of my favorite songs.

I do most of my grocery shopping by foot. sometimes I go by bike when I have a lot to carry. of course it is just me and the cat. I do go several times per week though.

Too late to even be the second-string MOTD.
Gotta be here bright and early if you want to hang with the East Coasters.

I do remember when I-640 was being built. My parents got some rocks there which they used for landscaping.
