1) A summer-weight rain coat from The Gap. Also on sale, this time at 80% off. Say what you will about The Gap, but as long as their political contributions stay with the democratic party I’m going to feel pretty ok about spending my money there. Just like as long as WalMart fights its workers unionizing and gives money to the Republican party I will not darken their doors. Sure, we get to vote on a ballot once a year, but we get to vote with our dollars everyday.

2) A Pain de Campagne, a cinnamon roll, and a bread stick from the Albemarle Baking Company. The best bakery of its kind that I’ve found in the Mid-Atlantic region with croissants beyond belief. However, they’ve discontinued making their beloved checkerboard cookies and can't seem to be induced to bring them back.
