The woman is a liar!

I stopped in on a little personal walking tour into that little 35 West Main Community Centre and after looking around and have spent so much money of late, found an artistic post card to mail my charming, kind adopted mum as a possible Get Well' card, and the price on the card read that it was only $2.25! And I suspected that with tax my wallet might contain that amount without once again disturbing my bank card, needing to sit down at home and count up my balance amount before I used it for anymore purchases that week; but when I asked the woman who seemed both a little nervous of my presence in her shop of crafts and gifts of the natural, earthy, ethnic kind how much that tax would be on this $2.25 card as I had already spent so much this week celebrating my forty-seventh birthday for my "Birthday Month", she told me that it did not read $2.25 but that that lovely little artistic and possible Get Well' card for my charming and kind adopted mum, was actually $2.75 and that I was very much quite wrong in thinking that it read $2.25 in its printing, and even must now not be able to afford it with my little sum of funds within my weeks depleting wallet? And she patronizingly and as if I were an ignorant child of a man, sent me away both empty-handed as well as offended!

I like to walk about learning the city as I have so many times learned other cities! And I like to window and otherwise shop all about at all of the quaint places and markets, even those that I could never afford, as a real person to purchase any of their wares and goods at. Exploring is educational! Exploring enlarges a man or woman's soul and even increases their mind's view!

I walked that way today after passing Balaban's where the roasted bunny rabbit dinner is the special being sold to it patrons today! And remembered that I can no longer enjoy that dinner special as I once before had when my friend Jack Austin from Boston who is with the Symphony Opera House on Grand Avenue near Lindell Boulevard were dining there, before I was informed that tasty Roasted Bunny Rabbit Dinner Specials are not Kosher! Which I did not know at all until I was told but somehow feel guilty now and ever since as if I should've already known? How could I've not've known that dining on that tasty Roasted Bunny Rabbit Dinner Special at Balaban's on Euclid Avenue is the same as and as sinful as dining on one's very own household pet cat according to any Torah following Jew or Yahweh
