Safeway is tough on shoplifters. There are cameras everywhere. The
cops come in andf watch them on certain days. And then I'll see
someone in cuffs being read their rights.

Double A Can you get a job as night watch man? Work for little money. How about a bagger at Safeways?

Baggers (courtesy clerks) and even night stockers have to be able to
really hustle at Safeway to keep their jobs. My legs and feet don't
move that fast anymore.


*Bikes are cheap at garage sales.


I think around here people mostly steal them from each other.


Hope that was Boston clam chowder.


No, it was Pacific clam chowder. What's wrong with that?


Bright Sun Will be about 48F at 2pm *Yes I added an hour. TreBert


39F here at 3:20 PM PDT (yes PDT). I was wondering why my hands were
feeling numb while waiting for the bus! One minute stormy and wet,
next minute calm with the sun peeking through. At the moment wind SW
at 10 mph. Humidity 99%. Mostly cloudy. Snow is in the forecast for
Tuesday and Wednesday. Come on, weather gods, it's almost spring!

I was glad to remember daylight savings time last night because it
meant I got to go to Starbucks an hour earlier! Had jambalaya soup
for lunch with fot jalapeno filone bread.

Tried to catch the 1:29 bus to the library, but it never came!
Settled for the 2:34 run. Will lose some of my computer time because
of the library's closing time on Sundays. Asked the driver about the
1:29 run, but he didn't give me an answere that I could understand.
He seemed to be driving like a rooky, so I left him alone. He might
have been way rearly on the 1:29 run. Bus drivers who are constantly
drinking something out of a bottle while driving the bus make me a
little nervous!

Talk to that guy who worked at Safeway for the last 30 years,
he'll tell you about the strikes and the near strikes.

Even part time worker at Safeway get benefits, not to mention their
job security because of having to keep supplying negative profit
clients like yourself.

Going to Boston this morning(The big Bean)


Who calls Boston the 'Big Bean'?
I was born is Boston and never heard of it.
I did a search for Boston nicknames and came up with this...
The closest was 'Beantown' which is not used by locals.




The City on a Hill came from original Massachusetts Bay Colony's
governor John Winthrop's goal to create the biblical "City on a Hill."
It also refers to the original three hills of Boston.

The Hub is a shortened form of a phrase recorded by writer Oliver
Wendell Holmes, The Hub of the Solar System.[1] This has since developed
into The Hub of the Universe.[2][3]

The Athens of America is a title given by William Tudor, co-founder of
the North American Review for Boston's great cultural and intellectual
influence.

The Puritan City nickname references the religion of the city's founders.

The Cradle of Liberty derives from Boston's role in instigating the
American Revolution.

City of Notions in the nineteenth century.[4]

America's Walking City, because Boston's compact and high density nature
has made walking an effective and popular mode of transit in the city.
In fact, it has the seventh-highest percentage of pedestrian commuters
of any city in the United States, while neighboring Cambridge is the
highest.

Beantown refers to the regional dish of baked beans. This nickname is
almost exclusively used by non-Bostonians and is rarely used by natives.
According to Boston-Online.com, back in colonial days, a favorite Boston
food was beans baked in molasses for several hours. Boston was part of
the "triangular trade" in which slaves in the Caribbean grew sugar cane
to be shipped to Boston to be made into rum to be sent to West Africa to
buy more slaves to send to the West Indies. Sailors and traders called
it "Beantown" The local residents did not refer to their city as "Beantown."

Titletown refers to Boston's historic dominance in the world of sports,
specifically the Boston Celtics, having 17 NBA Championships.

City of Champions, much like Titletown, refers to Boston's recent streak
of dominance in sports, with the Boston Red Sox, Boston Celtics, Boston
Bruins, and New England Patriots each winning World (i.e., national)
Championships in the last decade.

The Olde Towne comes from the fact that Boston is one of the oldest
cities in the United States. It is often used in reference to the Boston
Red Sox



Will start work on house boat soon.


No you won't.
