No EHSQ, due to memorial service Tom was away attending.
37th Ave. (6648–73, 3273). सागर/সাগর was extremely crowded as I passed. Fresh eggs, frozen spinach and cauliflower, two pounds of discount butter, Turkey Bologna, and Swiss and Münster cheeses from F’town. The worker to whom I was so attracted in autumn 2016 is working there again (similar to Seb. O.’s recent return to KLD), and he was walking around replacing orphans (6648–70). {Wow, he’s back.} One worker at the deli counter inquired about the stylistic origin of my hat, and then his coworker said “Africa,” but the first worker clarified that he wanted to know from which country in Africa; I almost felt bad telling them it’s Central Asian. Crouching man in front of closed KLD (6671–73). I decided to also go to FD to get peanuts in the size and variety (roasted but unsalted) unavailable at F’town., and the cute skinny S. Asian stock boy was working in front and then entered. Dogs greeting one another (3272). Saw S— through the DR window and then saw M’cus W. approaching DR, so he and I stopped and had a bit of an awkward conversation.
