Grocery trip, snow and mindmaps
After a slow start today, Orlok and I wandered out to get gasoline and groceries. Recently, a new Coborn’s superstore opened about a mile from our apartment, so we stopped.
We were not impressed.
First, for being located at a busy intersection, there wasn’t nearly enough parking.
Second, the aisles near the pharmacy are supposed to be labeled with letters (A, B, C, etc). However, there were no signs present.
Third, after a trip up and down every aisle, we finally find the mac and cheese. Some of the prices are outrageous, the map doesn’t really help us find anything, and the bagger used twice as many plastic bags as necessary.
Conclusion: except for midnight runs for supplies or ice cream (because this store is closer than our usual store), we’ll probably stick to shopping at Cub or Cash Wise.

In other news, Orlok and I are getting together with our gaming group for the first time in a year. Everyone’s busy with families and jobs, and trying to find an open weekend is like a needle in a haystack. I have to confess that I don’t really want to go, just because it’s been so long since we’ve played. Orlok has pointed out, though, that we’re not playing during football season, so there won’t be twice-hourly TV checks for scores.
I think part of it is the forecast for snow showers and the long drive. Not looking forward to the snow, but the drive could produce a nice conversation.

I’ve been reading about mind mapping and received an invite to join MindMeister. I really like the site so far, and have some invites if anyone is interested. I’ll need a valid email address to send one to you.
