It's like they don't care.<br /><br />"so sorry you wouldn't want to walk behind me & I always have to take the elevators because I have lung disease & walk with a cane."<br /><br /><br />I totally understand that and would have much patience and compassion. And the same thing goes for elderly people who walk slow. What I'm referring to are "abled" people (many of whom are young college students) who walk slow on city sidewalks and swerve from right to left blocking the way. It's like car drivers who swerve lanes and drive slow. <br /><br /><br />Thanks so much for stopping by, my friend.<br /><br /><br />((((((( You ))))))<br /><br />XRonhttp://www.triloquist.net/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092603952139807812.post-83066423231213451082014-12-03T01:23:05.766-05:002014-12-03T01:23:05.766-05:00We don't have Corner Bakery here in Edmonton u...We don't have Corner Bakery here in Edmonton unfortunately.

However, I was so hungry that I didn't think a half a sandwich and side salad would fill me. For a little guy, I have a HUGE appetite - HA! And you're right, their coffee is awesome. I had a cup one time when I ordered a slice of Jewish Apple Cake, which was soooooo delicious!<br /><br />Aren't the sparrows precious?
