This morning I walked nearly five miles in downtown #WashingtonDC to find... a bottle of jelly. 🤣 I started at the Wawa near my hotel. They had a shelf slot where the jelly was supposed to be, giving me hope I would find it at another convenience store. From there I went to CVS ➡️ Wawa 2 ➡️ 7-Eleven ➡️ Wawa 3. The last one was particularly galling: a huge store with tons of wasted space but no jelly. I finally did what I should have done all along: walked to the Safeway and a mile back to my hotel.

(It was already 82° when I went outside at 6:30 to start my shopping journey. Yikes.) -
