...and a blinking light

Four miles from school is Filmore NY. It has a dollar store, a bar, a Jubilee foods, and a blinking light. It’s a slow town. The wide streets have small clusters of old houses that have their clapboard siding brightly painted. It is the archetypal small town.

Something unusual showed up in the Jube this week: a 16 lb strip steak. I’ve been eyeing it for the last few days. $52 of bloody goodness. And so it sat there, until Gabe came by and took it home. This evening it turned into one and a half inch thick slabs of supper. And so we feasted.
