I had a craving for chocolate

[LotusBud]

Usually I buy Lindt chocolate here. It's pretty good. But I was in a smallish store where they only had Milka and Nestle crap. So I forewent the chocolate. But by the registers they had these double chocolate Mars cookies. I bought some. Damn that crap is good.

Hmmmm. I don't know how much they cost. It was definitely an impulse buy. But costs for food in general have gone up about 40% here in the last 2 years.

The fucking sand from North Africa blanketed Portugal for about a week or 10 days at the end of March. Breathing that shit makes you feel awful.

It is kind of like that. It leaves orange dust all over everything, kind of like the ashes from wildfires. We had those in LA every year.
