to do: wash windshield
Somewhere in suburbia, not so many summers ago, I lost a flipflop to the floor of a 7-Eleven near the Slurpee machines. As far as I know, it’s still glued there. The incident ruined, finally, my already bad relationship with the convenience store. Here in the metropolis, shouldn’t we support our neighborhood mom & pop purveyors of junk food? Isn’t that what they mean when they say “buy local”?

The gas station store is an anomaly in Brooklyn. Mobil On The Run convenience store on Caton Avenue (catty-corner to the cemetery) has the further distinction of being large and clean, and having the occasional thing you need. (I don’t mean Krispy Kremes.) The store is a great setting for snapshots, too, because the fluorescent lights, so unflattering to human skin all 24 hours a day they shine, make the taquitos, air freshners, and chips, incredibly photogenic. You almost want to buy them.
