So, the answer to yesterday’s puzzle was that it was an extension cord that had been all looped like a piece of crocheted yarn. It keeps it from getting tangled, and eliminates the coiling that comes from winding it around your forearm. Lloyd saw that one at school and took the picture, and I had to explain it to him by looping some string. Quite the story, huh? Our evenings are always wild like that.
Today (Sunday) Lloyd had choir practice in Lincoln, and I had some things to do. I was having a Quiet Weekend, and it’s easy to be quiet while window shopping. One of the places I wanted to visit was Aldi’s, a super-cheap grocery store where they just put pallets of things out in the aisles. Lloyd’s parents are always shopping at the one in Jefferson City, and I wanted to check it out in Lincoln.
Sure enough, it had pallets of food, still in their boxes, and a very limited selection. I wanted to take a picture but I worried that they might think I was shoplifting. After buying milk, honey and basil, I took a picture of the outside of the store.
Um, it’s an ‘Alps’.
