156. Who Gets the Loaf of Bread?
Nasruddin was traveling together with an ascetic and a scholar, and they had found four loaves of bread.
They each ate one loaf, and then quarreled about the fourth.
Nobody wanted to share, so Nasruddin said, “Whoever has the best dream gets the bread!”
The next morning, the ascetic said, “I dreamed I kissed God’s feet. What could top that?”
The scholar said, “My dream’s better: God embraced me and praised my wisdom!”
Then Nasruddin said, “In my dream, God came to me and said, ‘Nasruddin, what are you lying there for? Go eat the bread now!’ So I did.”

It was shopping day again today with breakfast at Ella’s to start. Then went to Jake’s where I was hoping to pick up an order of Skyr yogurt but it has not come in, maybe next week. The ordering with Jake’s is rather hit and miss but I have no other reasonable alternative if I want Skyr yogurt.
I had better luck with my stop at Charlies Supply which is just outside Reserve on my way back to the Park. It is a hardware store that I think would be very competitive with any Ace Hardware. Perhaps not in price but what is in stock at the store. I only needed some water hose gaskets which he had; there is a good chance that a Ace would not have had them.
