Atlanta's Smokey Again

We woke up this morning to a foul smell in the condo. We thought it was from the rough in of the broken toilet that we have removed. But no, it's the forest fires in south Georgia and north Florida. The entire city's covered by a nice shroud of smoke right now. Everything has taken an ochre tint. Atlanta's covered by smoke.

MAJOR UPDATE!!!!1

We closed today!!!!!

Trader Joe's -- Better than Expected

$33. That, and some loose change, is what my two full grocery bags cost me at Trader Joe's new Midtown Atlanta location yesterday. I got two bottles of wine, some tomato soup, a package of sliced pepper jack cheese, some yogurt, crackers and sundry other products. Maybe I'm missing something, but I think that's pretty good for the amount of food we got, especially considering we had alcohol, too.

Granted, the booze was Two (and a Half) Buck Chuck.
