debuccalization

so i return home for my lunch break. i check the mail and it's full of flyers from local businesses. the important one is fiesta's, because each week they feature a dangerously, criminally low price on a pork roast. this time it was at its lowest level in months, $0.67/lb. to boot there were turkeys advertised for $0.49/lb.

they feature these prices, but i think only once i've ever truly bought something for that price, because there are a limited number of the special products with orange stickers on them (LIMIT 1 WITH $10 PURCHASE). all of the women who get to shop and prepare food during the day buy them before i can get there in the evening.

not this time!

i called duylinh and she said she would work late. i wanted her to drive me there.

still not this time!

i got a large backpack and walked the mile to fiesta. four employees came up to the cash register to trick the bar code into giving me the special orange sticker price. the bagger was nice enough to put the meat directly into my bag.

on the way back, i was on the corner of this man. he had a leathery face, melting eyes and a long nicotine beard. and a cardboard homeless sign. and a bluetooth earpiece that he was talking into. he's up to something. i don't think he's a proper homeless.
