To market today! Remember the old nursery rhyme? \”To market, to market, to buy a fat pig…\” Of course I didn\’t buy a pig; but I got in some miles for Love to Ride.

I had several reasons for heading for the regular supermarket instead of the salvage store. One, I wanted an 8 oz jar of Hellman\’s Mayonnaise®; and that\’s something that I\’ve never found at the salvage store. The only mayo I find there is quart jars!

I don\’t use mayo very fast; so why buy a large jar of it at a bargain price, and end up having to discard most of it because it\’s going bad? That\’s no bargain in the long run.

Two, going to the salvage store would have meant fighting the wind all the way home. It isn\’t a strong wind this morning, but it\’s enough for me to feel it. Not surprisingly, my legs are a bit stiff today. Going to the other store meant that I got the headwind over with on the way there.

Three, I don\’t know what the weather will do. Last night the forecast predicted showers/T-storms by 1 pm; and now it says, after 4 pm! The sky was completely overcast this morning, and there was a light mist. I took along the poncho, just in case.

I\’m still rather tempted to ride out to the salvage store to fill up a grab bag or two, but I think my legs need a rest now; and I don\’t feel like taking the gamble of getting poured on. After all, the market can bear only so much!
