Feb. 6th, 2010 08:41 pmShopping at the co-op today, as an experiment, I decided to see what would happen if I limited myself to food grown in Oregon or Washington. The haul:
yogurt, granola, walnuts, parsnips, collards, quinoa bread, tempeh, savoy cabbage, kiwis (I'm not sure why kiwis grow in Oregon -- they shouldn't, logically), shiitake mushrooms, cipollini onions, salsa, an Asian pear, a Bosc pear, milk
Plus some parsley whose provenance is unclear, but it was on the bargain rack and my bunnies like it. And some tangerines from California which, well, no really good reason for that except that they were on sale.
Not too bad!
So one thing about roller skating is that you get to observe strange early-adolescent heterosexual mating rituals. A girl was shoving a boy while yelling "This is not bullying, it's funny-ness!"
And am I the only one who always finds it surreal when crowds of mostly straight people are rocking out to "YMCA"? I always wonder how many of them know they're groovin' to a song about gay cruising.
