Florida, for all of its many demerits, has one thing going for it: Publix, a chain of truly excellent grocery stores that stretches throughout the Southeast (Protip: There is no sub quite like a Publix deli sub). But every so often, the reality of Florida creeps in to this paradise of sundries. Exhibit A:
Some idiot left one afoot in a local safeway parking lot. It was a dark and stormy night and I didn;t see the damn thing until had rolled out of the parking lot, across two lanes of traffic and into me. It stopped moving after it landed on its side.
Too late for me I'm afraid, been here since I was 18 wayyy back in 1980 and I love it loonies and all, actually, especially the loonies! It takes a certain special je ne sais fuckall to enjoy living here.
There's not a lot of choice in rural North Carolina, and it's GOT TO be better than WalMart. And I don't have to look at the gross inbreds that shop at Walmart when I got to Publix, so for now, Publix it is.
Apparently in Publix, the workers own the means of production. It is an employee-owned corporation and is often rated as one the highest-quality general supermarket chains in the country.
Or bring your own. I have seen this method of cart-tending done at other stores but they all eventually stopped it, except for Aldi. I suppose it helps that Aldi doesn't have very large stores and aren't surrounded by acres and acres of asphalt. It is never a long walk back to to the cart corral. I have been to a few of them in different localities and different states, and they are all like that.
What fun is that?
Though somewhat more damaging to the soul.
Seems logical, but why it is that Florida always seems to get top billing over California?
If nothing else, it will take you mind off the disease you are trying to cure.
Look, if reading Hiaasen has taught me anything, it's to stay the hell away from Florida.
They used to put propylene in Dr Pepper. Don't know why it was in there, or why they stopped putting it in , but I kinda miss it.
Agree there. Everytime I get a shipment of CPAP parts, I want to complain to Medicare. Talk about a rip off.
Did you just fall off a turnip truck?
I kinda had the impression that Carl just copies stuff out of the local paper.

Same guns. Platinum bullets set with teeny tiny baguette diamonds
Don't be silly. It was soybeans.
