pleasant surprises

new to boise, is whole foods market.

because i am a loyal co-op shopper,

i have been there ONE time before today.

{and it was just to use their bathroom}

i had to trek over to the east side of boise

{i live west of the city, so it's a haul}

to visit a podiatrist, and the office is

just few blocks away from whole foods.

i found some really good things, like:

grind-your-own chocolate peanut butter,

organic whole cashews,

white turkish figs,

and, in the parking lot,
this

which is part of this: samaritanblog

{i hope you are reading this, pam. i know it will warm your heart}

en route, i heard this song on the radio

it took me back to 1990 when

i saw blues traveler in a bar in nashville,

before they hit the big time.

i had never heard of them before,

and loved them immediately.

a few days later i saw them at sewanee.

about a year later, i saw them play

at a college in maine.

here's another one

you might like the line,

"the newsman said not to sit on strange toilet seats"

my final pleasant surprise was my podiatrist visit.

the office is very nice, the doctor was a gem,

they have lollipops in the shape of feet,

and i don't need surgery.

the doctor even made me a little jacket

for my big toe to wear

it will cushion the nerve

which short-circuits sometimes.
