Jasonisms

I pulled into Parker, CO yesterday and when I tried to pass through Mainstreet the road was blocked off. Turns out there was some sort of classic car show going on and I was there a mere half hour before it finished. All I brought was my cell phone (Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra) and I was able to grab a handful of shots, most of which weren't very good.

(The woman I lived with was more interested in supporting this woman-owned local business than I was.) I stopped in this store 9 months to a year ago to purchase a couple of treats and the owner told me I couldn't use a card unless I spent a minimal amount. As this is a standard practice with some small businesses since Visa takes a huge percentage,  I normally don't mind paying cash when I can to help small businesses avoid the extra costs and boost their profits,  but I didn't have cash on  me.  That being said,  I didn't need a minimum amount, I needed two pigs ears for $1.50/ea. When I explained this to the owner she told me that's their policy, so
