Now, my hood, the Co-op is the first choice, followed by Safeway. Prices roughly the same, although Safeway sells the spicy Thai chilies at $1.00 less than Co-op, still too expensive, $3.00 for 50 grams of chilies and a whole lot of extraneous packaging.

Am I supposed to eat these or snort them?

You can buy the same at Save-On Foods for around $10.00 per pound, which works out to about 80% cheaper - more or less, but Save-On is a bit of a drive away and I can't eat THAT many chilies to justify the gas.

But today, up in the NE, stop by H&W Produce, and - WOW, I've grown too used to being fucked over by Co-op. 98 Cents per avocado, and some are even ripe. At Co-op, $2.50, $3.00 per, and you're buying futures, they're so hard they won't be ripe for weeks. Field-berries for $1.28 a package...Habanero Peppers for $7.00/lb, beets $1.27/lb, I could go on. 

Suffice it to stay I'll stick with Co-op for trivial, non-green-grocer things, but for produce it's H&W all the way. I saved - VS Co-op - easily $12.00 today - on a $7.00 purchase.

Pruning, pruning. Look at the photographs, colors washed already and barely 30 years, bad photographs of people who's names I struggle to remember, of places, I was a bad photographer, candid snapshots, "scenic photographs" done a million times better by a million other people a million times since, tear them up. Letters from people long forgotten. Tear them up, tear them up. Save, one, two maybe per album - If I can't remember, what will the children make of it?. I won't come this way again. Tear them up, tear them up. 

Another box, DVD's, really? When? Never mind. They can go in their own pile, to the thrift shop.

CD's - a few will get a listen, the rest, the mixed tapes of forever-ago, tastes change and if you need to live in the past there's always AM radio...But they can wait for sorting, I've enough on my plate for the moment, trunks of photos, letters, notebooks to be shredded or annotated. And the CD's - maybe a few classical ones I can save, YouTube can get overwhelming with their ads, a CD promises a more focused and thoughtful listening experience.

I'm trapped here, imprisoned, in the dismal cave of memory, tear it up, tear it up, easier to just walk away but that sorts out nothing, and there's a lot here to be sorted...

Blue - Krzysztof Kieślowski

An old movie by a favorite director, I'm not sure that I've seen this. Ever. I'm glad I didn't, sometimes you find exactly the right thing at exactly the right time...
