I ordered my sub sandwich and feeling desperation for a coke, searched the soft drink case only to discover that they carry pepsi products, which I've come to staunchly believe is a sin to accept as a substitute for coke so thought instead that I would stop at the 7-11 down the road for my ice cold coke fix which in fact I've been moderately successful in kicking the habit for the past nearly two years, but was feeling weak tonight.
Farther on, as I approached the 7-11, I noticed a rough estimate of seventeen cars in their parking lot, probably mostly teenagers and 20-somethings, which these days, I mostly try to avoid contact with and combined with preemptively stressing over the eventual departure and the next-to-impossible and highly dangerous (but somehow legal) left turn I would have to attempt for the quickest route home, a left turn I'm not willing to attempt any longer in my senior years at any hour outside of my perceived 1-5:00am window of calm, decided to pass on by, coke-less.
So, no Coca Cola for me tonight!! Which just may have saved my life.
