Me! Of All People! Part Two
Almost exactly three years ago, we were leaving the Napa Valley, with its cheeses and wines and olive oil stores (any specialty store with a single type of item for sale upset John greatly).
Found in a notebook from those days:
May 2004
An article from the St. Helena Star mentioned a vintner who said it was 'more likely that he become an astronaut than a winemaker.'
"Improbable!" he exclaimed.
But when he found the Old Turnbull 'ghost vineyard' on the 65 acres he inherited from his father (a winemaker) he thought, 'hey, I'm onto something here!'

worst store name in the napa valley: "parsley, sage, rosemary, and Bob."
By the way, I saw another Shadow Store near Palmdale (next to a World of Gnomes)
But it wasn't a true Shadow Store, they did sell other wares. (I bet World of Gnomes did not)
"Parsley, Sage, Rosemary, and Bob" made me laugh.
When you said olive oil stores I thought you meant it was being hoarded, like the strategic petroleum reserve.
rob, yes it's funny, but it was a real store name in napa, not a joke. it was the dream of some guy named bob to sell spices, i assume.
I still think it's funny. I would have gone in just because of the name.
My children are bothering me right now.
