Pluses and minuses

The local supermarket in my neighborhood used to be a branch of PLUS, a low-end German affair that was stylish in a Starsky and Hutch (70s TV original not Ben Stiller & Owen Wilson movie) kind of way. It's now been replaced, at this branch and all others in Gliwice if not in Poland, by Biedronka, a low-end Portuguese affair that's unstylish in a Barney's Funhouse kind of way. But the Yugoslavian or whatever nacho chips are better, and so is the (Portuguese) wine, so who's complaining? Yesterday was the grand gala opening, full of yellow balloons-- which reminds me of that wonderful song by Jan and Dean
