Another Scooter Ride ๐Ÿ›ด๐Ÿ’จ

Today, for my daily exercise, I once again headed out on my kick scooter for a few miles ๐Ÿ›ด Went grocery shopping, and had a Goodwill stroll!

At Goodwill I found two Pinky and The Brain shirts for just $1 each. They have some wear but you canโ€™t beat that price!

Today I was able to have something I havenโ€™t had in a long time. A bakery-made black and white cookie:

I used to get them all the time back when Starbucks carried them. I do wish they would return. There was a petition for it one time but I guess it didnโ€™t make a difference.

I am nostalgic about so many things related to Starbucks. Having Bearista bears throughout the years. Selling indie CDs and such. Jazzy music. Independent local paintersโ€™ art exhibits. One place near me had an actual live jazz band! The atmosphere at Starbucks used to be very different years ago and I think these days I primarily go for those memories even though itโ€™s mostly all changed. And I probably will until they close down if they ever do.
