The big city? It has a Kroger next door to me that stays open until 1:00am. And when I’m watching a football game and rooting for the team whose win will knock OSU out of the national championship, I get peckish. Especially when that team is losing. And then there are commercials that advertise Dr. Pepper. And Dr. Pepper makes me think of Kettle Cooked Sea Salt and Vinegar chips, even though said chips were not even advertised. And then I think about how it’s fun to run a little bit in the dark and the brisk night air. And then I ask the husband, who is also depressed by the lackluster performance of the team that we want to win so OSU can’t be in the national championship, if he wants a snack too. And of course he does. And I can just run and go get it because adults can do these things if they want to. And the Kroger is still open because it’s the big city and sometimes people, even grown-ass people, need chips and pop at bedtime.
