raising cane's chicken

 i made what was likely my first-ever visit to raising cane's, a chicken place, in eagan for lunch today. when i placed the order i said i had seen the video board ad on the interstate, 35-e. and i liked seeing the charlie brown characters as part of the ad. i liked how they do things a little different there. for one thing, i got texas toast with my order, chicken fingers and fries. i kept two napkins and the paper cup i drank out of as there was charlie brown characters on both. even though the cup had the annoying image of lucy pulling the football away from charlie, the thing i never liked about the comic strip. good chance i will make another visit there sometime soon, although i have cut back on fast food since the pandemic hit. 

i made the most of the day off. i also went to family dollar after having lunch as i needed some tape. while there i also got a box of pop-tarts, and a DVD. there were two other discs of interest, but i told myself to make a mental note and check what i already had. found out i already had one of them, but not the other. so i can go back eventually and get the one i don't have. much like a week earlier, when i got my CDs in alpha order, i decided to get the DVDs in alpha order today. i did this for the same reason, wanting a better idea of what i already have. i had made some purchases since i had last done this. and it meant crossing some more off of my VHS list, as it dwindled from 32 to 27. it also meant a re-deployment of boxes, and using an additional one. i watched 'fire on the track' about steve prefontaine in the late afternoon, it was a replacement for a VHS copy. although i had to try multiple times before the main disc played, the bonus feature disc played without any issues. in the evening i went on a walk and found 84 cents. so now i have enough for not just one candy bar at work, but also a second.
