There’s Costco…and then there’s Costco

California Dreamin'

OMG. I just came from Costco Heaven. 

On the way home from GDU, I trekked up and around to Paradise Valley Community College, site of my next part-time gig. From there the nice new Costco at Cave Creek and the U.S. 101 is sorta on my way. So I dropped by to pick up a few tomatoes and a bottle of wine.

Two bottles of wine. Tomatoes. Cantaloupes. Prepared osso bucco (!). And what have we here? A pair of Lizwear shorts, one heckuva far cry from the ill-fitting Levi shorts the Costco here in the ghetto had a couple of weeks ago!

Dang!

It was hard to miss the bright orange kayaks on display near the front entrance. We don’t got no bright orange kayaks. We don’t got no kayaks at all…

That Costco has a whole lotta things us poor white (and brown, and black) trash don’t got, including an array of very fancy single-malt Scotches, ranging from the tacky Glenlivet to stuff I’ve never heard of at $75 a bottle. Not to mention the Veuve Cliquot champagne…happy Fourth!

Garrrrh! Cuter clothes (some nifty shirts that have never been brushed by eye-rays from the downscale set). Fancier booze. Fancier food. More choices of kitchenware. KAYAKS! 

Okay, it’s true: we’re in the middle of the desert about a zillion miles from navigable water, and no, you’re right, noooo I do not need a kayak. Just saying. That’s all. Just sayin’.

Once I get started driving over to PVCC three times a week, I believe I’ll be making Costco runs at the 101 and Cave Creek.
