The Holy Gospel according to the Prairie Messiah

Like a myth you rode in from the west. From the go you had my button pressed. Did the tea-time of your soul Make you long for wilder days? Did you never let Jack Kerouac Wash over you in waves?

And I'll search the world over for my angel in black. Yeah, I'll search the world over for a Euro-trash Girl.

Right now, I am watching/listening to a doccumentary/movie about the still frustrated victims of Hurricane Katrina. At first this got me really depressed but then also, a strange happiness fell on me at the same time. Why? People in Louisiana have an unusual vocabulary. Even now, at this point in these victims devistated lives, all of them still speak a language that would be comprehended as clinically insane by most other Americans. This is perhaps one of many reasons why I do love my Louisiana.

I must be feeling generous today, because (one) I bought a lasagna plate lunch from the Catholic Campus Minstries for $3. The lasagna plate lunches is a quarterly joint venture of the Catholics and Lutherans. I am not sure what the purpose of this is exactly, or why I never been before but I did.

I also decided that it was about time to buy my parents in-law some groceries again. I don't buy them groceries often, nor do I ever spend much money. I know for elderly people living on a fixed income, every little bit counts. Since I happen to be such the great bargain shopper, I jumped at the opportunity to obtain for a whole $25:
3 dozen eggs
3 pounds long grain rice
3 cans of tuna
10 pounds of potatoes
5 pounds yellow onions
2 pounds pinto beans
11 cans of various vegetables
4 jars of jelly
4 pounds sugar

I think that I am a very good bargain grocery shopper indeed!
