Life in late capitalism can be vexing, alienating, fragmenting, and otherwise frustrating. There are many wonderful things in my life, but I'm more likely to talk about what's bad rather than what's good. I'm going to try to post one good thing here each day, and if you would join in by adding a good thing from your day in the comments, I'd love it--I'd absolutely love it. --RR
9/26: a like-minded crowd
It was high time for me to go grocering. Wanting to avoid the shopping-on-the-way-home-from-work rush, I waited until 7 p.m. to leave the house for the store. It was a good strategy. The store was sparsely populated, and the other people shopping were probably like me: they spent a day at work dealing with people and were just wanting to get their grocering done without incident. People were quiet; people gave one another space cushions; people steered their carts with care. I felt grateful to them all for their calm consideration.
