The Lexington Coop on Elmwood is a Ripoff

I used to love the coop. I have shopped there since the 90s and have been a member owner since. I still shop there all the time because its convenient and because they have a lot of tasty things. It was always kind of expensive and I was ok with it.

Somehow they really crossed a line for me recently. I cannot believe the prices anymore. I mean it was always expensive but now its absolufricking ridiculously expensive.

Vegetables should not be overpriced at harvest. If anything they should be local and cheaper. I could not believe this mini cauliflower cost $4.59. And berries? At the height of Berry season they are almost $5.00 a pint!

I overheard someone say they hope the coop keeps getting more expensive and expands because it will finally attract the attention of a Whole Foods and bring them to Buffalo. I am starting to agree.

Mike's old room

Not sure how this is fair but (e:Mike) moves out from the parents' house and I end up having to paint his old room.

My dad helped out a bunch although we had differing views on what constitutes complete. Strangely, I was the more picky one which makes me question if I am more of a pain in the butt then my father.

My mom chose bright yellow to paint over the blue. It was hard to make the blue not shine through. I know we could have primed but the paint didn't call for that.

Creepy Cutey

I found this weird little animal on the net. Not sure what it is and there was no additional info with the pic. It looks like a baby bat.

At Niagara Gorge

I had a nice day hiking the gorge with (e:Mike) and (e:libertad). They are perfect for each other. I found some really delicious wild grapes. Hiking the gorge is way easier in the fall than in the spring when I am much more out of shape.

The bird sat in the tree with me while I collected them. He kept calling to me every 10 seconds when I went a few feet away. Unless I responsed he would freak out.

Bird Bath

The bird freaked out when I left the computer where he was perched to take a shower so I decided I would take it with me.

At first he perched on the curtain rod. I kept splashing him and he freaked out until he jumped on my shoulder and got blasted with the shower. At first he seemed scared and ran down my arms but then it was right back up under the water where he seemed to really enjoy splashing and cleaning his feathers.

When it was time for me to soap up I put him on the soap rack where he preened his feathers. Its amazing how much smaller he looked when wet.

Afterwards, I blow dried him while he sat on my shoulder. It was so cute.

Tugboat Rebecca Lynn Pushes Oil Tanker Down the Canal

(e:terry) and I were on a bike ride that included squaw island yesterday. When we got there, a giant oil tanker was bring pushed through the canal. I didn't even know giant oil tankers came through here. Nor did I realize just how big the exhaust pipes on those are. You can see it at the end of the video.

Imagine if that thing spilled. The falls would be destroyed forever.

Here is the half of a bikeride worth of tracking data. I forgot to turn it on during the way there.

Little Fancies

I went with mini top shelf bottles so that we could taste more flavors without getting sick. The only glaring exception was the UV cake vodka. Believe or not their is no premium cake vodka that I could find, lol. So I went with the next best thing Faretti Biscotti Famosi liqueur has a recipe based on nuts, fennel, citrus and caramel and which tastes like biscotti.

I am particularly excited about frangelico hazelnut liqueur.

I also finally got the Italian lemon frenetic liqueur I wanted for the last million years.
