Yeah, next we'll have UPC barcodes beginning with 666 tattooed
onto our foreheads/hands. If you have to scan it yourself,
make an effort to not look into the laser beam. Personally,
I don't believe the testimony of John the Revelator. I think
he just accidentally ingested some ergot or something.

I hope there's a discount for self-service.

Anyways I love shopping by bike, and I highly recommend it.
Any other transportational medium renders shopping an
odious chore. The best part is heading homeward with
a bikeful of good stuff. It feels joyfully replete.


cheers,
Tom
