Lex! I thought of you today…

Maybe incorrectly, but I don’t think so.

My neighborhood in SF is called the Outer Sunset. The area on the other side of Golden Gate Park is the Outer Richmond. It’s where all the Russians in SF love. Onion domed churches, cryllic language news papers etc.

Anyway, one of the days and locations my daughter has dance is on Sunday afternoons in the Outer Richmond. I stopped into a market to grab some fruit and bread for lunches this week and boooooom. Straight up Russian market. Like at least 75% of the wares were in Russian. Like walking into a market in the old country, I’d assume.

You like all that stuff right?

Yes. I would have a blast in a place like that. Would really stock up.

I'm jealous. Makes me think I really need to visit the few Eastern European places we have here in my area. I haven't done that in a while now.

Guns. Have them.

Socialism is the gospel of envy.

It would be really fun, I love doing things like that. I pretend I am really in country*

You wouldn't have to pretend that hard! I always kinda forget about the Russians...

...because my neighborhood is the same experience but Chinese. So, it's easy to walk into a market and be the only English speaking person there...it's just that I'n used to it being Cantonese (or Spanish if near work) and not Russian.

yep, I luckily find it easy to "kinda" really feel like I am there if everyone is speaking

It's just another excuse for me to carry around one of my AKs.*

But there were also jars upon jars or preserved fish. I believe it was pickled…but I couldn’t read any of the labels.
