Daily Life

Last month I posted about missing trees in front of the Apple Store on N. Main St. and now new trees have been planted. Glad to see a little bit of nature added back into the city. Does anyone know what kind of trees these are?

Some may remember my problem procuring Orbit bubblegum at the Walnut Creek Target. After months and months of Target not stocking Orbit bubblegum flavor I gave up and switched to Trident bubblegum. Since Trident also contains Xylitol which may be good for your teeth I decided to switch permanently to Trident even after Orbit bubblegum finally made its appearance at the Walnut Creek Target. Well, sure enough given my luck, this past weekend they were out of Trident bubblegum flavor! Take a look at the above photo. They stock every flavor under the sun plus Orbit bubblegum  but no Trident bubblegum. Is this some kind of joke someone is playing on me?

P.S. I got the Cinammon flavor but it’s burning my mouth. I may need to give up my gum habit for good.

If you’re strolling down N. Main St. in downtown Walnut Creek past the Apple store you may notice beautiful pots of flowers. They’re actually hiding tree trunks from trees that were cut down. It turns out that year-round Christmas lights hanging on the trees caused the trees to burn necessitating their removal according to people working nearby I spoke with. I hope new ones can be planted soon.
