Kung fu at the grocery store

July 29th, 2007 at 02:55 am

Something you don't see every day. The HT Oaktree market near our house is having a grand opening (wha? we've been shopping there off and on for 6 months).

Dragon curled up in back of the martial artists...


And the teacher busting his moves.


Inside, the best price on Rainier cherries this year at $1.99/lb, peaches and nectarines at $.79/lb. DH and I also picked up 2 more cloth shopping bags with HT on them - they were giving those away if you bought more than $5.

We still haven't gotten in the habit of bringing our own bags to the grocery store. Sigh. One of the times that I collect plastic bags is that I often stop and do a bit of grocery shopping during my nightly walk from the bus. Maybe, just maybe, the HT cloth bag is small enough so that I can put one in my purse.

    Wow, look at that! Traditional Chinese dragons!

    I wonder what style exactly are they teaching?

    Funny, earlier tonight, I was just talking deeply to a friend about the state of self-defense martial arts in today's world....

    I try to keep a container of plastic bags in the trunk of my car. Also a few empty boxes.

    I keep my canvas bags in the trunk of my car, but i sometimes forget to bring them in, too, even after all this time. They really are so much more durable than plastic/paper. I hate it when they put 1 or 2 items in a plastic bag and go on to the next one. I end up repacking cus i refuse to take more than necessary, and preferably none, when i remember the canvas bags.

    We have several canvas bags in the front, between the seats as a visual cue. Even then we forget - we would have no hope of remembering to bring them inside if we had them in the trunk.
