Shopping. Again. We leave The Charlie, then I run across Jim, one of the old-coot-car-guys I sometimes see on Saturdays at Eric’s (and he tells me that his truck — whose restomod project I have documented over several months — just took lst in its class among 350 entries at the recent Walla Walla car show). Next while loitering at Safeway as Kim does what only she can do, I discover my new favorite car magazine (RoadKill: Automotive Chaos Theory, spawned from the YouTube sub-channel of the same name) and wonder about the unusual Apricot Ale on sale. Finally, we return to find Charlie intact.
