Randomness: A Sock Message & Coded Kitty
How much is that kitty in the window? Why not just scan its UPC bar? I went for coffee a few weeks back at one of my favorite of all small businesses, Marcell’s Hemp and Latte House on 31st and Columbia in Vancouver WA. And her cat let me know it wasn't terribly pleased to be outside on the patio while I was in the fireplace room reading the paper. That fireplace had been uncovered by Marcell and friends when they started to remodel the place, which had fallen on hard times after serving as a convenience market for decades. Marcell's is quickly becoming a neighborhood gathering place. I was poking around on the Internet and see they have applied for a beer and wine license. More good times ahead. I wonder what kitty thinks about all of this.
This was a strange one. This piece of paper was inside a sock I had bought. Sure it is probably an inventory list, but my mind drifted into an entire Asian espionage scenario. I'm thinking about my favorite Mike Nichols and Elaine May stand up piece where they were both cold war era eastern European spies. "Do you have the Fudge-icle?" "Yes. I have the stick."
