[Maybe stop rioting?]

Come on now, it’s only logical to smash, burn, loot and destroy the area around where you live.

Yes, any decent businessman or businesswoman would be right to fear the crime. A lot of those folks are taking their lives in their hands in some urban areas.

US postage is an incredible deal. Imagine you can send an envelope cross country for 50 cents.

I’ve expressed that sentiment here before and have been criticized. Surprised that you weren’t.

It’s a bargain.

What town is your HEB in?

I have a fancy new HEB with sushi bar et al and I know I’m spoiled, but went into one in Alvin, TX and was appalled.

it was 1950s meets Tijuana, and small as heck. And dirty!

“it was 1950s meets Tijuana, and small as heck. And dirty!”

Bingo! Measuring with a pencil on google maps, the Alvin store is larger than ours. Canned goods tops are dusty and have bird droppings and you have to make sure to check each one so that it’s not dented. Bought saltines the other day, checked the box but two of the sleeves were nothing but crumbs so don’t know what happened. So, meatloaf for dinner. Also, bought a bell pepper that looked ok but turned to goo 2.5 days later. They didn’t have milk that day and noticed there weren’t any tortillas. Normally, I make my own and everything from scratch because 1) budget and 2) it isn’t stocked. I’ve posted how getting fish is like making a drug buy by the back door. It’s that ridiculous. If you find an item that you use often, better stock up because you’ll never find it again. I don’t mind there isn’t a variety of brands so much but at least keep one brand on the shelf. One day I’ll buy a doohickey to post pictures of empty shelves.

They had a meal deal (there’s never the complete deal) once to get free tortillas. I asked the manager if they had any in the back. No, but the truck will bring 4 in a couple days. Ok, knowing the answer, I asked if that was 4 cases or 4 packages of 8 tortillas each. Yep, it was 4 packages. IOW, a case had probably broken and those were salvaged. Typical. Might as well be in Tijuana.

If there was ever sushi here, RUN!
