morning coffee run

 

a sleep in Saturday morn

remembering there's no coffee

remembering that sign last night in La Grange

after movie night...

"ESTATE SALE"

quick calculation. La Grange, sale, coffee,

and Trader Joe's

(which was one half of the tale of two groceries)

 

and the sale yields

Popular Mechanics, March 1946 and October 1950 issues.

Those, along with parts 54 and 57 of the 105 weekly parts

of Story Of Life, 1970.

The estate yielding the sale was old.

A plethora of ephemera, old postcards, family portraits with no names

hundreds of old periodicals and an eclectic selection of newspapers.

and me with little time, I could have spent all day.

 

But I had to complete the mission.

Coffee.

 

and pretzels and cat food.

 

Trader Joe's was packed with Saturday morning old and seasoned hippies

young, up and coming democrats

even younger hipsters

and me

found my whole bean Joe's select.

and exclusively at Trader Joe's Pastora cream sherry

but only whole wheat or unsalted pretzels?

 

Fair Play

the grocery is also packed with Saturday morning old Polish moms

young and struggling couples, blue collars

and even younger hipsters, working their day job.

found my Snyder's thin Stix and Nuggets pretzels

skipped the cheap wine aisle

and grabbed the Purina cat chow.

 

now a breakfast...

no wait

make that a lunch

of Joe's O's and fresh brewed coffee.
