When Pigs Fly

I spend a lot of time online, and more recently, a significant portion of that time has been devoted to grocery shopping. The jostle in the aisles and more especially the interaction with other folks as we pass one another, elevate my stress levels. 

Besides, the mega stores just keep getting larger as they slowly, like Sherwin-Williams Paint, cover the earth. In the not-too-distant future, I see a moment where you live your entire life in a megastore with an occasional special treat of real daylight through a window if you've been very good.  

A news item like this one does nothing to reassure me about where our world is heading. I guess I should be pacified to learn, "At this point, the root cause of the contamination is unknown, but the FDA is working with Indonesian seafood regulatory authorities to investigate."

I guess the good news about radioactive shrimp would be they're easier to find in the dark. Not that I spend a lot of time looking for them.
