canned fruit

 i went to hy-vee in eagan tonight and i decided to get a can of fruit cocktail. it was yet another week of not buying bananas. i may just continue to do so. for one thing, no peel to throw out that might attract flies. i had found some unopened cans of fruit recently and when this happens i would only go back to buying bananas once the cans were used up. but nothing wrong with making a change when the value in it is seen. sometimes i change what i buy at the grocery store out of necessity, as what i was buying is not available. good idea to have alternate plans lined up when everything is subject to change. i also bought a special magazine about the charlie brown and snoopy comic strip, published by life magazine. there were two different types of covers and i chose the one with more characters on it. one of them only had charlie and snoopy on it. it was a good read, found out the 'great pumpkin' special had religious overtones. this wasn't entirely obvious to me, more obvious in the christmas special, which quoted scripture. i got another box of 'field of dreams' cereal, corn flakes, it is still a 'hot deal' but now it is down to a dollar. it is the fourth such box of cereal i have bought and i am currently working on the third. those general mills 'monster cereals' are likely my next purchase. during my walks i found 31 cents. the 'big bang theory' reruns were when sheldon and amy first tried living together. it was followed by the one where sheldon decides to live at the office, refusing to learn how to drive. even after an intervention, because he didn't do well on the driving simulator. at work i finished updating the contacts list, or 'responsible officials'. there was more down time available due to our largest files of the day having a much lower volume, even for a friday. after work i got another can of oktoberfest beer from the liquor store near work, so now there are 4 beers waiting. it was brewed by bauhaus, from minneapolis.
