Yes, you probably mentioned that the world is not fair. Even if you hadn't, I already knew that. It's one thing, though, when the marketplace of life throws a lemon at you. It's quite another when a democracy formed on the premise of equality in the pursuit of happiness doles out our collective goodies unfairly, and from the vantage point of an audacious high moral horse, to boot.
BTW, I heard the squirrel this morning still trying to get through my pile of bricks, so I dropped some red pepper down among the bricks. He got quiet awfully quick.
A new international grocery store opened last week right across from my Japanese restaurant. The place is jammed so you can hardly move through it. It's like being in a marketplace in some third world country. Smells like it, too. But boy do they have some interesting stuff. Yes, I'm getting to the point. I looked for cayenne pepper there and couldn't find any. My problem turned out to be that I was looking for a little jar. They sell that stuff in one pound bags and up. I bought a pound for just over two bucks. Only used about a third of a cup on the squirrel so far. They also had some eel already prepared just like the Japanese restaurant. All I had to do was microwave it. Yummy. They had blueberries for a buck, and I've been gorging on them. That's what inspired the blueberry example I gave Chris.
Life may not always be fair, but it is definitely sweet. |
