Thursday miscellanea #379

Beth Bailey, who has been a fine high school teacher for the first part of her career, is going to be a fine realtor for the second part. Please consider seeing her for your northern Alabama real estate needs. No connection to her—well, except that she’s my friend, I love her, and I want her to succeed.
I’ve made fast friends with the big-ass Kroger since going in there for Shirataki noodles. There really is a lot in there that isn’t anywhere else I’ve been locally. And now I know my way around, so I don’t get frustrated.
There is at least one Tesla Model X in town. To be kind, this is a car that photographs very flatteringly. It looks like a turtle in the metal, especially from the rear.
The real Los Pollos Hermanos is Twister’s, at 4257 Isleta Boulevard in Albuquerque. It’s intact inside, down to the Los Pollos Hermanos logo on the wall.
There was a black bear sighting in my old stomping ground of Oxford, Alabama a few days ago. That is well south of its known range. Wonder if we have them here too? It would seem logical.
Herky-jerky start so far on lifestyle changes, take one zillion, but I’m finding my groove again. If you’re so inclined, please add me to your prayers. That I’ve made it to 45 without seriously damaging my health is wonderful indeed, but I’m out of time. I have to make changes stick, now and forever.
(Need proof I’m 45? I’ve begun collecting Hawaiian shirts and I’m fine with that.)
