Technology gone too far...

The new supermarket near our house uses all the cutting edge grocery technology. There's an automatic 'mister' in the produce section ... but just before it comes on, you hear the low rumble of distant thunder and an aroma-like fresh rain fills that corner of the store.
As you approach the dairy case, you hear cows softly lowing and you can smell freshly cut hay.
Down the canned vegetable aisle you can hear a hoe overturning the dirt and smell a good, earthy loam as you gaze at the corn and carrots and beans.
Down the bread aisle you get the aroma of freshly baked bread and can hear the sounds of a bakery hard at work.
I don't buy toilet paper there anymore.


Sheridan Community Chorus rehearsals begin on Tuesday, June 2, 2009 @ 7:00 pm at The First Baptist Church (32 Main Street, Silver Creek - directly next door to the Petri Cookies office). For all the basses, this is a new rehearsal location!!!!!!!
