With the heat I have shifted my exercise walk earlier so the tail end of it coincides with rush hour. Walking for exercise in the morning is a joy, the podcast playing in my ears keeps me company - the hour and something goes fast. This morning a fox crossed the road in front of me with a large critter of some sort hanging from its mouth. I have seen them hunting in the fields but never saw evidence of success until today.
The last stretch of my walk brings me past one of those Dunkin donut gas station combinations. It was a regular gas station for many years then sat idle for a few years and finally this place opened. I’ve never seen many customers there- this morning surprisingly busy. I find the place to be too pricey. I think I’ve bought a gallon of gas there for the lawn equipment. Over $2.00 for a cup of plain old Joe; Carolyn reminds me that many drink flavored and other more expensive concoctions. The price of a danish or donut seems exorbitant. Day after day it adds up but I’ll not bore you with the latte factor as it is well known and angers those who indulge.
Truthfully seeing the lines disturbes me- I believe if ever there was a time to be frugal it is now. The virus is on the rise, 50% of all closed restaurants are likely to not reopen and my buddies still in the corporate world talk of more layoffs. For those already stretched seems like it won’t get better.
Yeah it is a very negative vision but I just can’t help it. Am I alone?
I’ll stick to my home made coffee...
