Miscellany

Friday, October 15, 2021 (October’s fullest moon [“Hunter”] rises on the 20th.)

At the register:

Me: What a cute toddler-shirt, it’s a sleeveless turtleneck. Who’s going to wear it?

Customer: A chicken. I have one with a wound and this might protect the spot.

Answering telephone:

Me: Good afternoon, Wilco, this is Diana.

Caller: Can your fresh crab legs be purchased with food stamps?

Me: Maybe you want to call Winco? This is Wilco.

At the register:

Me: What a cute dog!

Customer: Yes, he’s a mix, and mostly King Charles. Soon after we moved to Bend, my husband left me for another woman. I won (she smiles), got the dog!

Dear Friends: I’m on today’s opening shift, leaving soon for work. Diana
