Went to the supermarket to get pancetta and lemons, and Celebration was playing

Probably a coincidence, but I'm pretending not. (That store has the most eclectic taste in music. I'm guessing nobody is actually in charge of the playlist, it's just whoever gets to the switch first.)

They didn't have pancetta, though. In other news, something is definitely eating from the syrup feeder, I just haven't caught them at it. Also, small online brag, but in the past two days I've identified three different books where the OPs got nearly every detail wrong. Sometimes I manage to even impress myself!

Your post is dated "Jun. 3rd, 2024 08:29 pm", which AFAICT is 37 hours in the future. Got any hot stock tips I can use?

Your subsequent posts are dated June 4 and June 5, and we're up to about 88 hours in the future. Can I borrow your DeLorean?

Only if you have plutonium!

I like to have all the spaces on my calendar filled in. I don't actually post every day. The options, therefore, are "post ahead if you post more than once in a day" and "post behind if you skip a day". One of those two things turns out to work better than the others.

Can you identify the short story I posted?

Unfortunately no. In *theory* we might be able to track down the reader if we know the publisher and (maybe?) the state, but nobody ever seems very sure on the publisher and there's no promises either way.

Oh well!
