Well. It's been an interesting day

Highlights:
Small wiggily bug-eyed... thing. Fun with cheap children's toys!
Playing Catch with N with the bug-eyed thing while waiting for people to show. (they didn't)
Gremlins returning stuff.
Koi.
Getting lost attempting to find a Chase Bank in Texas. (they should be on every street corner, right?)
Finding River Legacy Park and wandering by the water after dark. (and scaring people by chanting 'Fe Fi Fo Fum' while under the bridge. I blanked on '3 billy goats gruff's rhyme.)
Discovering Tom Thumb = Safeway
Finding Sherlock's Baker Street Pub by accident.
Finding a cigar shop right next door, where a Pirate Party was taking place in honour of the co-owner's birthday.

And last, but certainly not least:
Finishing Gordian Knot - Taste of Flames!!!!. Two Conan chapters next! Whoot!

Safeway owns the entire U.S. ...It's kinda scary.

Not the whole US, I think there might be one in the entier state of New Mexico.

lol. I think there's a few more than that. You're actually less likely to run into a Safeway owned store on the East Coast than anywhere else in the US. Well...except for PA. They took over our wonderful Genuardi's. *tear*

I live in the largest city in NM, and I know for a fact that there isn't a Safeway here, in Santa Fe, Roswell or Ruidoso (two cities I've live in) and I haven't seen one in any of the towns or cities I have passed through. Except for one, near the Arizona border, where I saw a Safeway about four years ago.

Yes, I am weird, but where I grew up, Safeway was the main grocery store, so when I moved out here, I thought it was odd, and started keeping an eye out.

Apparently not in Indiana - no native Hoosier I've met has even heard of Safeway. Kroger's is the giant here. :D
