The Albertson's pharmacy I go to is in a store that for many years was a Winn Dixie, and before that, it was a Safeway. You can tell by how the building is clad with tumbled river rocks, a feature of those Safeway stores built in the 1960s and 70s. (I've always wondered if they cut each pebble in half to apply to a mortar base, instead of studding a thick base with the whole stones?)

I forgot to mention earlier that when going through the refrigerated tomatoes I found a half-dozen that are good-looking, smaller than tennis balls, for salads. I've boiled some eggs and baked a chicken breast to make a couple of chef's salads this week.

Today looks like it will stay overcast and cool, a good time to take the trimmer out to edge my way around the front yard and driveway, preparing to mow tomorrow.
