Weekend football over. OU beats Baylor yet again and I need whisky and some cigarettes, so I go shopping and take my camera.
BigC is like Wal-Mart, I think. It is less than a five-minute walk but I’m thinking my bike would make it a bit quicker.
But parking is sometimes a problem because some families, well, they take up all the good parking spots

Lottery guy asleep or I would have bought a ticket. I probably already used up all my luck anyhow.

I love the fruits.

Dried Chinese mushrooms. Soak in water and then stir fry with veggies, rice, noodles. I’m into the shrooms.

Eggs and 1,000 year-old eggs. Wasn’t that a Survivor China gag challenge thing? I love them, but I’m just not certain how fresh they stay after the 1,000 years expiry date.

The selection of rice is dizzying.

And, there is another whole row dedicated to rice cookers. I don’t think Americans even know how to properly cook rice. I don’t either without my deluxe model rice cooker.

I don’t think even Wal-Mart has this wide selection of bicycles.

But, I’m completely thwarted. Nationwide alcohol sales are banned between lunch and 5pm. This is the whiskey and wine selection but they rope it off during the banned period.

Since they don’t sell cigarettes and they don’t sell alcohol when I was there, I just wasted your time and my time.
I did get Marlboro menthol lights at the local 7-Eleven.

And, I did get my whiskey at the local mom-and-pop shop that has no problem breaking the curfew on alcohol sales.

Alright, mission accomplished.
