susandennisI walked slow and fast and fairly continuously for 2 hours. That, it appears for now, is my max. But, I was not nearly as wiped out today as I was on Sunday so maybe there is hope. My shoes of choice, however, aren't going to cut it - even with socks. Oh well.
For years now I have been online stocking![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
badrobot68. I also follow him on Twitter. He works in the market but I've never known exactly where although I've gathered clues from all the various entries he's posted in both places. He posted about Kyle's donuts getting a makeover but I had not been by to see the expansion until today. For the record, Kyle does make the best donuts ever. He has nearly doubled his space and while he wasn't there today, his staff had double the line of people waiting. Nice.
But, across the way, was a wonderful fried chicken place. They also did fried gizzards and livers and were delicious. They are gone and now there is a Korean place there. I wondered where the fried chicken place is and then thought that maybe, when I got home, I'd dropbadrobot68 a note and ask him. Then I thought, why not find him and ask him.
The market is huge and I only had small clues but, once I decided to find him, it was easy peasy. You can see a piece of his head.
His shop is very cute and so is he. I walked up and admitted to the stalking and he was very cool about it. He didn't know squat about the fried chicken place, tho. It was still a treat to meet him. He looks just like his userpic.
I went from the market to Target and finished walking the store. It really is nice and I think they are single handedly trying to fix the unemployment issue. There are about 498,283 sales people on the floor. I'll bet, in the 20 minutes I was in there, I was asked 20 times if I was finding everything ok. Each time the kids (and they were all kids) were excruciatingly polite but they every one sounded like my finding what I wanted to find was *the* most important thing in their world. It was really kind of cute.
Then home. There is an amazingly interesting assortment of people on the streets mid-day downtown. I think I saw one of everything. I even saw a guy in a suit. (He had a hotel-type name badge so it wasn't like he was wearing it for fun.)
I was stopped 3 times once I hit the last four blocks (my neighborhood). One guy in a neighborhood helper shirt asked if I wanted directions which I thought was funny. Nice, but funny. And then two Young White Men with very large fake smiles wanted to chat with me. They were two blocks apart so I'm guessing a gang/cult... No black ties so no Mormon.
Anyway, that's my adventure today. I got home to discover that Betty had thrown up her breakfast and was starving. She stayed at my ankles whining until I finally fed her. And made note in the data base of the food that she had for breakfast.
I have a couple of quick errands to do this afternoon but that's about it for agenda items today.

Burlington! Wow. One of my best buddies from camp (Camp Morehead by The Sea) was from Burlington.
I do have a really amazing life. I don't know how I got so lucky. And it would be even more amazing if Betty didn't throw up the expensive cat food I buy!!! But, into each life....
Thanks for reading and thanks for letting me know you are there!!
