Sunday Round Up...

I've already annoyed my wife and dog by spending much of my morning in front of this lifeless vacuum of a computer. It's probably best if I just plow through these stories as quickly as possible...

Grocery store elitists. Like the unnamed writer of this article, I used to be one. Then I started shopping at a Food Lion. I actually wrote a long, snarky post about this story but decided against posting it (it's just a grocery store, after all). Let's just say those of us in low-rent Oakland Mills like our low-rent Food Lion just fine, thank you very much.

More on those campaign finance reports, with a focus on Harry Dunbar and District 13. Talking about money never gets old.

Yay Bloggers!

I know what you mean. I've yet to find my coveted Morning Star Farms veggie hot dogs at Food Lion, alas. However, I don't think I've ever gone to a grocery store that has absolutely everything I want (I'm a pretty finicky eater).

Also, before I moved to Oakland Mills I had to get something very specific to prep for a medical procedure and Food Lion was the only store in east Columbia that had it. Moreover, it's the only non-specialty grocer in Columbia that sells Reeds, the greatest ginger beer known to man. So, selection cuts both ways, I guess.

Still, the lack of lines at Food Lion and the fact that I can ride my bike there (yes, I have a little E.T. basket that I hook onto the front...you got something to say about that?) more than make up for not having my veggie dogs...
