NOTES BEYOND PIZZA in Postcards 4

In the last of the May Grey, we headed off to Costco yesterday before our usual round of evening news. I worry about the families on Hawaii, but I don’t care a fig for Rosanne. She’s leading the news. I really am angry about Trump also, still I truly care about our country. I care about our world also, come to think of it.

He spent the day making a Costco list. Having been broke for many years, I always ask first, “Do we have any money?” We did.

So after pizza and a Very Berry Sunday, I bought cookies. I got one of those giant jars of animal crackers. Yes, I know I certainly don’t need the calories, but I buy them for the store. I grab a handful on days that I am there, but everyone else must grab a few too. They vanish fast. They also weren’t on the list.

The list was, fiber, Angus burgers, muffins, and G’s breakfast protein drink. We walked out with a whole cart full. A book with new pictures of Ocean Beach, then blueberry muffins, and a pre-cooked chicken, followed by the fiber, and lastly an American flag. Yes, a modern flag with 50 stars. Our flag is a 48 star flag. This new one is a class act that came with a pole too.

I confess. I react. The airways are full of commercials for the upcoming election. I already voted. I don’t want to hear any more. I confess this is the first time I have voted a full party ticket. In reaction, I know. I’m going to hang that American flag out above the front door too. In reaction.
