37th Ave. I’m pretty sure that was a very handsome‐looking Bry. R. paying no attn. to the outside world but only to his mobile device as he was walking the opposite direction from me as I approached 37th Ave. As usual, I glanced in DR to see whom I could see and saw রুবেল as customer. A chubby customer at FD wanted to tell me how he couldn’t get the attention of the new post‐S’eed deli guy, and I told him to raise his voice. A not‐unattractive, friendly and conversational new S. Asian cashier (whom I may have seen in the recent past, perhaps the one putting up window posters) when I was purchasing my salame cotto, cheese ends, blueberries, cottage cheese and tiny apple pie. I wanted to learn his name but the receipt said “Jessica.” Then I visited DR to check out their discounts and wound up purchasing a half‐price pack of eight chewy granola bars (19:00).
