I'm going to see to Wesley, see if he's still whimpering.

We occasionally do things in Oakland!

That might help me feel less like an intruder here. Every post I make I'm cringing on the inside like a new kid on the first day of school.

Unless that wasn't an invitation but rather a "Nah nah nah, we do things in Oakland and you can't come!"

The TJ's at Lakeshore in Oakland has numerous registers but only one line and it frequently curves through the aisles to the back of the store. There's a water station at the mid-point in case you get dehydrated waiting.

Hee. No, it was a statement of possible invitations to come. I'm just starting a two month moratorium on spending money, but maybe after the new year we can attempt a Doing Something in Oakland again.

ehab, I hope to meet you when I'm out in the Bay Area at the end of the year. And part of my excitement about my trip is the chance to hit TJ's and bring home a bunch of nummy snacks.

Now tagless for your comfort.

TJ's is one of the things I miss most about Columbus.

The Denisof Family kills me ded.

Our wings are not tired.

Oh my, the kangaroo family are too adorable.

Very jealous of the TJ having peeps.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

The thing about Trader Joe's is that it has stuff you just can't get elsewhere. Delicious stuff. Cheap stuff.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

The Hannigan/Denisof family Halloween costumes

Oh my! As if I didn't already have the biggest crush in the world on that family. They are too cute!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

The adorability reminds me a little of Eskimo Willow.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

The thing that freaks me out about TJs:

  • Their food is really good.
  • Their food is pretty cheap.
  • Their workers are intelligent and cheerful, and they get decent benefit.

In conclusion, TJs is obviously a cult.
