Of course, that doesn't help come nighttime. Oddly enough (or perhaps not), their produce is superior to that at 'Dick's Piggly-Wiggly'. (I can't wait till Saturday -- first Farmers' Market of the year in my locale.) And do not envy me. The capacity to shop at Wal-Mart (albeit in the dead of night) is symptomatic of a kind of creeping numbness. However, I am not yet so far gone as to be able to navigate the suburbs of Chicago without entering a dissociative state.

I can't even walk into the place without getting so depressed I want to kill myself. I'm not sure if it's the lighting or the people who work there or the overcrowded lines, though I suspect it might be all three. Seriously. Am I alone in this?

(Oh, and the Galena [Illinois] High School mascot is a pirate. I have a Galena Pirates sweatshirt that I bought at Dick's before it was the Piggly-Wiggly.)
