With a half a pound of bacon in the cooler and no ice, two cans of smoked clams had been breakfast. It was time to go into town.
Culture is so varied; it's strangeness can be, if not fun, at least interesting.
Exiting the Evanston, Wyoming Walmart, a Tesla fastback glided acrosst the parking lot. At the perimeter, a tall, slender, Black woman with a beautifully round bottom, wearing a yellow headband with long, yellow, "tails" of shredded cloth, raised her arms in triumphant greeting to the 25 (or so) semi trucks parked together. Her enthusiasm brought to mind my sister; she too took pleasure (and pride) in pleasuring her clients.
At the light, a shiney, white Land Rover full of young girls (windows closed) went past. Who would've guessed Walmart would have excellent organic blueberries grown in Oregon?
Diversity! If we could only learn to celebrate it.

Omnivores' Delight - Dave's Custom Meat Shop
In Evanston, Wyoming I chanced upon Dave's Custom Meat Shop.
It came about quite serendipitously. After gassing up at The Maverick (supreme $3.77/gal ) I took an exploratory turn (let's see where THIS goes) to scout the town. Suddenly, as I emerged from an underpass, there it was... Dave's -- big as life! (was going strong in 2012)
While traveling in The Yukon the other day I was invited to dinner at the home of an artist. Her husband had shot a bison so that's what we had. I was surprised at the flavor and now prefer it to beef. Besides phenomenally lower in cholesterol, its milder flavor makes beef seem gamy. Like beef though, I enjoy it raw. So it was with pleasure I found Dave's had some and at $8.50 per pound, a bit cheaper than other places.
I also bought a pound of Dave's Smoked Sausage (approx. $5.65/pd). I let the sausage thaw in the afternoon sun on the dashboard as I toodled along at my death-inducing speed (they come upon me so fast most lay rubber standing on their brakes) of around 40 miles an hour. To facilitate the process I slit open the package. I quickly found myself doing "The Pavlovian," salivating like a dog, and had soon eaten it all.
As with the cupcakes (see: June 21, 2012), I was thrown back to childhood. This time to the public pool in Germany where for lunch we ate bratwurst and gummi bears purchased from small, privately-owned stands. My taste buds were undoubtedly influenced by the heady combination of chlorine and the company of my German girlfriend, but I've yet to find the equal of those pool-side wursts. But Dave's brought back the memories.
During the night I put out to thaw a package of Dave's bison. In the morning I was surprised to find it was separated into patties with paper dividers between each (elves!!). I had it for breakfast, straight from the wrapping, similar to beef tare-tare. It vuz excellent!!! Augmented with a bit of bell pepper and onion, it made for a fine supper. Hear yea all you omni/carne vores....Dave's is a must-stop when in Evanston. Please tell them you saw it here.
