"Groovin' at Fred Meyer's for a Sushi"

So I drove down to Fred Meyer's the other day to get some sushi for lunch. I love sushi, but I'm the only one in my family, other than my son-in-law, and he is always working (poor guy), so I get it on my own, occasionally.

I like the sushi at Fred Meyer's. The lady who makes it always uses fresh products, is very helpful, and since she speaks with a thick oriental (Japanese?) accent I figure she knows what she is doing, so the sushi has to be authentic. When I approached the sushi bar I noticed she wasn't there, and no one seemed interested in stepping up to help me, so I picked up a box with 12 pieces of eel (my fav), purchased it, along with a medium diet cola, and had a great lunch.

Afterwards I found a tall table in the coffe lounge and sketched the view in front of me. It's the one up above.
