turtle

Yesterday we went to Berkeley where we visited Berkeley Bowl in addition to our usual spots. Berkeley Bowl is a huge grocery store. We found some things there long sought.

1. BBQ potato chips made with avocado oil
2. canned fava beans without EDTA
3. vegetarian oyster sauce

I got letters from two of my favorite friends yesterday--J in Austin and H in the Netherlands. They're both substantial letters that I will think about before replying.

Today at the park someone thrust a turtle into Erik's lap. This stranger was carrying around the turtle for a while--poor turtle. Then he wasn't, and Erik was afraid the stranger put the turtle in a trash can. It was an ordeal. When we finally left, the stranger walked by our truck, and his pants were down (he had underwear on). Coincidentally, the song playing on my mp3 player as we prepared to drive away was Lumeria's "Who Could Understand a Turtle?"
