I went to see my therapist, and the main thing we talked about was disappointment. And we sort of chit-chat about this and that.
One thing we talked about is a different community. I told her about this book I had recently heard about. Book by A.J Jacob and his book, THE YEAR OF LIVING CONSTITIONALLY. As we talked about how different areas are. Here, when we go through a store. People smile and say “hello” to each other. If someone holds the door, one says, “Thank You.”
A.J. even carried a musket in New York City. He told the interviewer about taking a musket in a store, but people let him go through the checkout line ahead of them. I would say every time I’m in a store, I see someone with a firearm. It’s a completely different attitude.
I went to Safeway and got a few things. Plus, I had to go to customer service. The cash register didn’t take off my discounts. Every little bit helps.
Talk to my insurance company about adding a car to our policy.
I went to the local library and returned “A Man Called Ove” by Fredrik Backman. Ove is a Cranky Old Man but lovable. I rarely give a book five stars, but I gave this one five stars.
I hoped to check out David Grann’s Killer Of The Flower Moon. It was checked out and should be back in the next few days. I got “The Bobbsy Twins of Lake Port, by LAURA LEE HOPE. The book was published the same year my dad was born, 1904.
Rain off on most of the day.
...I have never seen anyone carrying a gun in a store here.
ReplyDeleteWhen I see someone with a gun in the store. I wonder if their stable mentally or not.
DeleteA good day
ReplyDeleteIt was.
DeleteWe live in very different places, I don’t see people carrying guns here. I’m sure a few folks have concealed weapons, but I wouldn’t know for sure.
ReplyDeleteI guess he took his gun into a coffee shop, in New York City...https://www.wsgw.com/a-j-jacobs-on-the-year-of-living-constitutionally/
DeleteThat book, Killer of the Flower Moon, shocked me. Rattled my very bones.
ReplyDeleteWe as American didn't treat the natives here all that well.
DeleteIt sounds like you've been getting some good books.
ReplyDeleteI hope so.
DeleteGlad you got out and have some books to get into. Aloha honey
ReplyDeleteMe too.
DeleteI have never seen regular people carrying guns, just police sometimes.
ReplyDeleteI cannot imagine seeing someone carrying a gun.whilst grocery shopping. It would make shopping a scary experience.
ReplyDeleteWe don't have open carry here, so I've never seen people with guns. That would be very disturbing. I saw that author on Sunday morning, he is interesting!
ReplyDeleteI liked 'A man called Ove', too!
ReplyDeleteGoodness! I cannot imagine seeing someone carrying a gun while out doing my shopping.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your books.
All the best Jan
