Lake Oswego Zupan's Market

Today i was looking for a liquor store. Since i moved here, two of them disappeared from the area. The one on Terwilliger and Taylor's Ferry moved to Macadam. The one here at Mountain Park didn't know where it was moved until today. Cause i got tired of driving at Macadam to buy brandy with dubious seals. Or meeting with guys that look like Tom Kruse in the store in down town Tualatin. So i grabbed the address or i thought i committed it to memory and i went to search for the new one on Boones Ferry. They've been working at this Zupan's Market for many months now, i got used to the idea that in that space there's a perpetual construction site. Don't know when they opened it. (Angela says 6 month ago). But they did, and apparently far in the back of the market place, at the end of a corridor, they put the liquor store. New, good looking place. Like Zupan's. No sign, no nothing. I had to ask three different people where to find it. No, four. Went in there. Although the store is big, the isles are crammed. Like most of the small stores and restaurants around here. I bumped into someone at every isle's corner. Also like if they were there waiting for me. Grabbed two bottles and one of coke and went out. I asked why they don't have a sign in the market somewhere. They told me they don't let them have one. I didn't ask who where they. But i know from experience, the people in Lake Oswego are among the most righteous people on the face of the Earth. They probably don't like their liquor stores out in the open for everybody to see them. Earlier i asked a guy sitting outside at Starbucks. First he pretended he didn't like to talk to me. Then he wanted me to hear him well. He doesn't know where the liquor store is because he doesn't drink.

Came back home and after a while i had an idea. Grabbed the camera and came back to take a picture for everybody do see or maybe not there is no sign for the liquor store. But the light was getting dimmer, that's all i could do.

Fat Lazy Bee and Crescents



I insulated the wall where the neighbor's speaker is with a blanket. Then a bee came in and stood on the floor near the wall. Then Comcast came in the parking. They always came by two or more. Then neighbor came in although the car was all day in the parking lot. But i heard a car's door and a door. Base is still on but much more muffled because of the blanket. I took a picture of the bee and left it on the balcony floor. But the bee walked back in. LOL. So i gently picked it and threw it away from the balcony and guess what! Finally flew!
