one boston fund. org - I'm in line at the grocery store and the lady ahead pledged $20

 YEAH,  I'm still hang'n here in B-town.

Got to eat, so I go the store.

Not a good experience.  Mint Oreo's .   

Mint Oreos.  

Sick, shit.

Aisles of sick shit. 

not food.

Shit.

Corporate madness.  Corporate shit offered as food.

SHIT.

Even in the produce section.   There was no staff. the entire produce sectionwaass so weird. silent except for the refrigerationfans.  hummiing. fans.

But all the stock was loaded on plastic shelves - most all the veggies were in cellophane.  Yeah they had red bananas, Yeah, the bell peppers were red, yellow, and green. 

 

But the place was not comfortable.  the corner of the store with the veges was off. hummmming refrig fannnns

Maybe I am just getting old.

Or smarter.

But the lady ahead of me, when the check out cashier asked if she wished to donate to the One Boston Fund.org [1], said yes, and pledged 20 dollars.

When I was being checked  out, I asked the casher how much had been pledged during the cashier's shift.

 She said she started at 5 pm, and at her aisle there had been pledged over $1,100 dollars on her shift - she was able to look at her register to get the data.

Well. 

Boston is pissed. And Boston is generous. 

But this is not an adversarial operation.   

In Boston, everyone knows, everyone needs support, encouragement and self  confidence and purpose. 

We screwed up, sadly.

 

time to pay up
