A bunch of random stuff has gone on this week I want to remember, but can’t
fit into any other post I was making.
I’ve been walking a lot at work. That’s good for my getting exercise and
all, but it means I wore out a pair of shoes in just a few months.

Yesterday I stopped at the same shoe store I bought these and asked for
another pair.
“Oh, we haven’t carried that kind in a long time!” the clerk said.
“Yeah, it’s been at least 3 months since I bought them here,” I said.
He looked at them. He looked at me.
“We still don’t have any,” he said.
These weren’t the kind I really like anyhow. I saw the style I like and
pointed to it.
“Do you have any of these that aren’t extra wide?” I asked.
“The size is written on them,” he said. “If that isn’t your size, look
elsewhere in the aisle.”
“It is my size,” I said. “But, it’s got the big W next to the 12 saying it
is extra wide. I don’t want the wide ones.”
“Wide ones are all we have.”
It was surprisingly difficult to find size 12 sneakers that aren’t extra
wide. Don’t know what’s up with that. But, I did finally find a pair, pay
the guy and go.
Yes, the service isn’t the best. No, the sneakers don’t always last a long
time. But, I refuse to pay much for them. I go through them fast whatever
the price, so it might as well be cheap ones.

When I got home my wife had made her special desert for me.
I’ll call it raspberry short cake. But, that’s like saying NYC is a city.
Yes, it is. No, it doesn’t really get across what you’re talking about.
My wife made it with raspberries and blueberries in a bowl about the size
of my head. I love most berries and this was fantastic. It took me 4
hours to eat it all.
It was great!

While I’m on the subject of food, I had extreamly good peshwari naan Monday
night. There is an Indian place near me (one of three in walking distance,
not counting the Indian supermarket) that specializes in all vegetarian
dishes. While I am very carnivorous, I still like their naan. And, the
peshwari naan there Monday was the best I’ve ever had. It was great!
Granted I can’t get the chicken tikka masala there, which is my favorite.
But, I’m told that was actually invented in Scotland, so really isn’t
Indian food anyhow.
If I can find a third food I really like that only one of the three places
make, then I might have to go for grand tours to get all the food I like.
That actually sounds fun.
