I've Found Vernors!!

I've actually found some Vernors (reasonably priced) at my local Stater Bros. Grocery store - on Towne Avenue in Claremont California. Not only can I choose from Diet or Regular, but I can get bottles, cans or 2 liter bottles!

Now I'm trying to compile "Vernors Sightings". Feel free to add yours here.

Elizibeth Seering spotted some Vernors at the Wakefiled Kroger in Wake Forest, NC. http://yankeebelle.wordpress.com/2007/06/16/oh-vernors-how-i-love-thee/

OK, It's not just about soda (read: pop) any more...

So, I started this blog quite a long while back with the intention of spreading the word about a fantastic, vintage, but long forgotten soda that I've grown to absolutely love. As you've no doubt read, it's really not just about the soda any more.

Life takes one on very interesting turns from time to time. Eventually we always get back to the road we were origninally on having enjoyed (or been pissed of at) the detour.

So is the state of my blog these days. It started as a means to literally Save Vernors from either disappearing or moving into the "gourmet soda" category. All that means is that it becomes more expensive. Lately, however, I've interjected some personal feelings and issues that haven't really related to the issue.

The good news is that it's time to get back to the task at hand. And this is really good news. Six months ago, searches on Google for "vernors" left me with very few - if any results. Today, there's over 2100 mentions in the blog space! http://blogsearch.google.com/blogsearch?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&tab=wb&q=vernors&btnG=Search+Blogs

I doubt if I have contributed to any of these, but I try.

Dreaming

I had a dream about poor Murhpy boy last night. I was sitting out on the patio and here he comes, just waddling out of the bushes.

I am beginning to feel a little better, but I still have trouble. I'm not really interested in cleaning up the kitchen, I'm having a hard time sleeping, and don't even ask about getting the other cats more food. That was the sound that used to get Murphy to come out of hiding and be seen - even when nothing else worked.

The good news is that is has been a whole 24 hours since I've cried.
