tracker7TNT ran a lot of Star Wars movies last weekend, so I watched some, leading up to The Rise of Skywalker Sunday evening. I watched the damn thing, just to see if it was as stupid as I remembered it being. It was. Oh my goodness, it was.
It's a gloomy day here. Gray sky, occasional rain, enough wind to blow leaves off the trees. This is very much my kind of weather, except, you know, when it's not. I was going to camp out at the Bon Air library this afternoon, but I think I'm just too comfortable at my own desk right now.
Like just about everywhere, there's a Dollar General near Mom&Dad's home. It's convenience store utility without convenience store pricing, and I don't think I've spent more than a couple of days down there without a visit to the store - the two stores near my home get business from me, too. Anyway, went in to the one down there and was surprised to see that the grocery side had seen a big change - a fresh produce section was added. Not big, but it's something more than processed and frozen food. The chain is adding these sections to over half their stores; it's hopefully profitable, because that'll put a dent in some food deserts.
I now confess to having a box of Chicken-in-a-Biscuit crackers and a can of Easy Cheese right here on this desk. Finest snack combination known to humankind.
