~The Modern Age Grocery Store~
(Plus: Today in History and Word for the Day)

The new Supermarket near our house has an automatic water mister to keep the produce fresh. Just before it goes on, you hear the sound of a thunderstorm and the smell of fresh rain.

When you approach the milk cases, you hear cows mooing and witness the scent of fresh butter fat.

When you approach the egg case, you hear hens cackle and the air is filled with the pleasing aroma of eggs frying.

So far I have been too afraid to go down the toilet paper aisle. ***

His new label specializes in alternative country or Americana -- music with a sense of tradition and a neoteric edge.-- Christopher John Farley, "Back To Country's Roots", Time, June 11, 2001
