As a planning nerd and an ex-California resident, I've spent a lot of time down this rabbit hole.

Rotten day at work somewhat mitigated by a Mister Rogers documentary tonight. I now like everyone just the way they are. Except for the person who's making my life miserable at work.

Next stop: Muskegon. Watch this space.

Wow. Who knew there was a "making of" video? youtu.be/SHYYl723fmI?...

They did indeed. Or at least most of them. www.groceteria.com/place/us-was...

I'm actually wearing a bathrobe from Giant Tiger as I type this, but that's probably more than you wanted to know…

I actually quite like the Giant Tiger stores and there's not really a comparable format in the US. canadiangrocer.com/giant-tiger-...

Unflavored for me! (Maude Flanders)

Day two: Not even fun kid-friendly Christmas songs but things like "Oh come all ye faithful"

Why is the ice cream truck playing Christmas carols in April when it's 84F outside?

I imagine that store must have been among the last few A&P opened before exiting the PNW in 1974.

I have to admit I'm not sure what a "supermarlet" is. Typing is hard..

These arrivals helped a bit.

All around crappy day. Sorry, that's all I've got...

If you care about such things, this is the location of the original Haggen store, the Economy Food Store, which opened at 1514 Bay Street, Bellingham, in 1933. The chain went on to have a long (and ultimately depressing) history.

I'm an Albany expression!

On the hallowed 30th anniversary of the steamed ham, this bears a second look. youtu.be/pk-Oq8iYtVA?...

There is apparently a "arcade bar" in the same space now that's also called the Detour. Trust me when I say that there was no relationship or similarity between the two.

Very old ATM receipt

Evidently I was doing some Sunday afternoon drinking in the Castro on 21 February 1993, more than likely at the Detour.

I really don't mind all the plants being heterosexual. I know they can't help it. But I don't want to be hit in the face with their sex lives. Can't they just keep it to themselves?

Stupid pollen.
