  Bach was imprisoned after applying for another job. He claimed it was a vacation and he used the free time to compose over 50 cantatas.

  I know carts are a nuisance and can damage cars but I leave carts where they are anchored or free from being caught in a wind. The reason is that handicap people, even those who get a handicap parking spot, often need something to lean on to reach the front door. My mother was one of them and would drive through the parking lot looking for a stray cart to park next to for something to lean on. Even if it meant walking the entire lot. Also, my local grocery store hires people with learning disabilities to retrieve the carts and it gives them a job that no one else would do and it is something THEY can do. CHARLIE follows people to their cars and will help load the car so he can get the cart. Sometimes I leave a bottle of juice, soda or chips in the cart and I’ll say, “That isn’t mine. You can have it.” and a gleeful toothy grin appears on his face. Now if only I were a dentist.

  Churches are like this. You enter through the front door and you are in the back.

  I buy all my fruits and veggies straight from the orchard, farm stands or the Amish. Often the products are dirty, have flaws, uneven shapes and varying states of ripeness. I can pay .90 for a cucumber at the store or, five for a dollar at the stand or, pick my own at the Amish farm for .10 a piece. I haven’t shopped in a store since the Covid price hikes. I now eat better, lost weight, cholesterol, sugar and BP all down. I also planted my own berries, plum and apple trees. Cannabis, too. I can wash my own damn fruit. Just say no to corporate greed.
