Miriam loves Diet Coke! Last night we travelled to the 24 hour Sav-Ons to get beverages because it was hot and we were thirsty. Normally we'd go to Ralph's but because of the grocery store strikes we headed to the drug store. When we got there - THERE WAS NO DIET COKE!! No six packs...no twelve packs! Miriam was in a panic! Her fall back plan was Diet Pepsi (which she hates but which is better than the generic "Diet Max"). Yet - THERE WAS NO DIET PEPSI!! What was going on? She asked the manager to check in the back and he did ... no diet sodas in the back either! He suggested that they might get some on Friday or next week. It was a Tuesday night - that's a long time to wait for an addict! We left with a rain check and lots of water.
