Cassi Creek:
Several
errands required our presence in Johnson City today. Driving in through
Jonesborough is the longer route but taking that longer route allowed me to buy
gasoline at $2.93. That’s cheaper than I’ve
seen in this region in a year.
We stocked up
on some items at Earth Fare that are not available at the chain groceries we
use for many canned goods and household items.
We found some pasta made of quinoa and corn that Gloria may be able to
eat in small amounts without blowing her glucose level. It will be interesting to explore how it
turns out.
I was offered
the chance to taste a chocolate-covered fig today. It was interesting but the chocolate outer
layer reminded me of the chocolate syrups poured on frozen custard or soft-serve
in rode-side stands. Brittle, thin and
somewhat lacking in chocolate flavor. Given
that initial impression and the cost per package – in excess of $8.00 – I declined
the purchase.
We came home
with some decent seafood and some sushi. Should be an enjoyable dinner.
If there were
American expatriates caught up in the Al Shabab terrorist group, I’d support a
drone strike or two to eliminate them from any future activity. That probably
sounds extreme to many people I know.
Taking up arms against this nation – there were American casualties – is
grounds for extreme response on the part of our government. While it is a violation of some
constitutional rights and privileges, waging open warfare against this nation
and its citizens for ideological differences is, in my view, a definite
renunciation of American citizenship and the rights and protections such status
affords.
