Day Four of Nine: The Long Dark Search for Seltzer

Romeyn and I are huge consumers of seltzer.  Yes, yes--it's bad for your teeth over a long enough timeline of heavy consumption.  We are not bathing in it...we just like the taste (and for zero calories, we'll take it).

My mother in law and I did some laundry up at the house while my father in law and Romeyn checked out the newest malfunction in my poor beleaguered station wagon ("Millie" for "The Millennium Falcon").  Meanwhile, I went on several unfruitful forays (Seltzer-Seeking) into town on foot, hoping madly to run into that coveted beastie, the multi-pack of seltzer.

During these forays, I learned several interesting things:
1. Pepsi now has a "fireball" flavor variant.
2. Fanta comes in a blue "berry" flavor of which I was previously unaware.
3. Vendors are particularly personable on major holidays.  I'd imagine that having a customer come in breaks up the monotony of being alone behind the till when other stores are closed.

Eventually, I gave up and settled upon a mass-purchase of individually sold bottles of Perrier.  Now, back to my quiet day of reading by the lake...
