A treat, and then, retreat.
Woke up to a truck that wouldn’t unlock it’s driver’s door for all the tea, so i dismantled it and found the door latch irretrievably worn out, ended up driving it (door bungeed shut) to the dealership (thank God they were open) to get the replacement part (thank God they had one).
Stopped on my way home to get some new stainless screws to re-attach the door handle (no way I was gonna use the crappy poprivits) and found that a new Italian place has taken root next to the Sears.
They had a great selection of sandwiches and fresh food, and I bought a proscuitto, mortadella and genoa salami sandwich as well as some giant capers. I wanted some canoli but they were out. I got a little container of fresh baked ziti. I also bought one of these:
It’s a Moka expresso maker by Bialetti, and I’m drinking the first cup right now.
Good to be home.
Geeze, do I hafta write it in crayon fer cryin’ out loud? There is no farging “X” in “espresso.”

If your name is Og, you get to put an x in espresso, do you expect a raised pinkey too?
Maybe there’s no X in it the way you make it. With me, it’s Express espresso all the way.
Don’t write on your computer screen with crayon. It’s hard to clean off.
I’m finishing a book on “sundown towns” — towns that used to keep out blacks. (Some still do.) Og, you posted a very interesting entry about your home town in this regard. Would you email me and tell me which town? Give me more details? I am trying to list ALL in the US! (thousands!) And I wonder: any idea where I might get a photo of a typical sundown town sign? Thank you!
