my grocery store has started a new service. you order your groceries
online, then go through a drive through lane, press a button, and
someone brings them out and loads them in your car! saves my foot and
ankle. it's just wonderful. i've signed up for the $18/month, can shop
as often as i like, deal. if your grocery store doesn't have this
service, you might request it. it's better than peapod (the delivery
service) because for that you need to spend at least 75$. i think they
started this for all the harried young moms with a zillion kids in
carseats, but it's super for the disabled as well. if only they'd come
home with me to unload!

I read about that in the local business news a month or 2 ago.
The idea is spreading coast-to-coast, perhaps slowly.

Kinda like the druve-thru pharmacies popping up all over.
Doctos faxes an Rx in, you drive-thru to pick it up.

I wish they'd start that out here. In fact, I wish Bellingham would get
a supermarket with self check out. I always ask the cashier to pack my
bags light, but their idea of light and my idea of light are two
different things. I always have to grab 3 or 4 extra bags so I can
divide the stuff up. At a self check out I can pack the stuff according
to where it goes. I can also pack stuff so that if I don't need it right
away I can leave it in the trunk of the car :) That's my pantry.

Now, this is a really neat idea! Had never heard of it before. I'll be
watching it to happen in my own hometown. I can imagine this concept
catching on in a big way with our harried lives. Nanny

Fast-food worker charged in meth case
Sunday, 21 January 2007

MARYSVILLE, California -- A fast-food restaurant manager was charged
with selling methamphetamine from the drive-through window, authorities
said.

Customers at the Burger King restaurant in Marysville would place their
food and drug order, and Michelle Filby, 29, would make the delivery,
said Bill Olson of the Yuba-Sutter Narcotic Enforcement Team.
Narcotics officers arrested the Marysville woman at work Thursday and
found 5 grams of methamphetamine with a street value of $400.
