Drove past, saw the cars circling the parking lot and decided to go buy my
milk at the coop. I'll wait until next week, when all the sightseers have
cleared out of the aisles.

The ticket has been taken care of-- don't know if the judge lowered
the speeding portion of the fine, but the insurance part was waved as
I proved I had insurance.
Also, an acquaintance assured me my friend is resilient and will get
through her trouble (see previous Agora)... it is still a little hard,
now, being shut out.

Was the new Whole Foods opening why traffic on Huron Parkway was backed
up almost to Huron River Dr.?

When is Arbor Farms moving to Farmer Jacks' old location west of town?
We went by and noticed that they are advertising 'low carb' food - Jim says
this is probably bottled water - low fat and low sodium as well.
I am happy to have received a home-made get well card with four cats on it
from charcat the cat and charcat the grexer.
Also a free GNU Squirrel Mail webmail account from jlamb, which unlike my ISP
is fast and easy to use, labels its links with words instead of just the word
'TRUE", has an address book, and gives you the option of forwarding
attachments and revealing the full header. I will forward spamcop replies
to it and test if it even displays other fonts such as Cyrillic.
I am happy that I was able to walk all the way around the block today.

Yep, Whole Foods was a circus yesterday. Everyone got a long-stemmed
yellow rose and a welcome. Staff was on-hand everywhere giving out
samples and helping you find what you needed. But what looks like my
favorite part is the new deli & prepared food section. It's a
mini-Harrod's. There is indoor cafe seating and and a nice patio, where I
sat and enjoyed a delicious bowl of gingered squash soup, a grilled
vegetable panini, and watched the show.
*Now* Whole Foods would be a swell debrief site. Unless they stay
as swamped as yesterday.

ask them how they feel about smaller co-ops like
the ypsi food co-op or people's food co-op, also
ask them how they feel about unions.
whole foods is a yuppie/pc wal-mart.

Friends with friends who worked at Merchant of Vino (bought out by Whole Foods
and closed a couple weeks ago) tell stories of Whole Foods systematically
dissing the MOV employees who were offered jobs at the new WH store.
Basically if you ran your department you could get equivalent pay at WH, but
for a shelf-drone job. I'm sure that more indignities await anybody who took
that offer, so that WH can ditch their salaries as soon as possible.

I have yet to see the type of co-op you describe around where I live,
I think.
We'll be getting an interesting grocery store in my hometown,
however. Not sure quite yet how to describe it.

Merchant of Vino closed?
I hadn't heard, and I work at Domino's Farms. That's quite a bummer.
They had a wonderful selection of beer.

I loved Merchant of Vino. Haven't yet been to the new Whole Foods, though I
need to check it out... see if they carry *any* of the things I loved at
Merchant of Vino.

I have gained 7 pounds since Sept. 1. Today I weigh 100 pounds. (I lost
about 20 due to cancer this spring and summer). I was able to sit on the
grass for a bit without a cushion.

IHB my interview with 3M went very well--the interviewer even made reference
to wanting to bring me out to Minnesota for a visit. Studiously ignoring the
little voice that keeps pointing out that Minnesota isn't much closer to
Malibu than Boston...it was nice anyway. Plus, I then went out drinking
with my labmates and kicked their sorry little strategizing asses at dominoes.
:) Also, the interviewer at 3M was under the initial impression that I
was a German rather than US citizen--I wonder if that's a commonly held
misconception? Might explain a few things.

Today's job interview resulted in a referral to another job department
and a second interview.
