Dunder's Idea of Fun

It began as a good day.  Last night was the Golden Globes and while I'm not fasionista myself, there are few pleasures like critiquing haute coutre.  Margot Robbie in Barbie pink and Oprah Winfrey in the color of Purple were standouts.  Have never figured out the Billie Eilish's style - not sure I want to.  Usually when the guys mess w/ the traditional tuxedo, they look a mess.  Some of them though like Tyler Williams and Barry Keoghan pulled it off this time.  Later I took off for the County Seat to pick up groceries.  I was in line at the checkout when I realized I didn't have my credit card nor my checkbook.  I always make sure my billfold is in my purse but forgot that I had taken out the credit card last week and hid it.  (Old person issue - don't ask.)  The checkout person knows me and when I explained that I needed to go home to get my credit card he just asked how long I would be.  "At least a half hour."  I said   The store wasn't very busy.  He said my cart would be waiting and started pushing it away.   I jumped into the car and took off.  The audio book came on automatically.  It's called "How to survive an Apocalypse" and as I sped home I listened to the chapter on how to eat insects and on the way back the chapter on how to make smoke signals.  Business at the grocery store had picked up since I left.  The cashier was busy but said my card was in the dairy cooler.  I walked to the back of the store stopping at the sign stating "No Unauthorized People Beyond This Point."  I looked around and there was a lady w/ the store's vest on.  "Where is the dairy cooler?"  I asked.  She did an elegant Vanna White touch to the front of the refridgerators.  "The dairy section is here." she said.  I started the explanation about my cart of groceries but she quickly understood what I wanted.  She retrieved a very cold metal cart filled w/ my groceries from behind the display.  While not perfect, it was an interesting day.

Eating insects? Would take a lot of mosquitoes to make a meal.
