Some days I have to look for news, but today I was in a grocery store by my apartment, and politics found me.

…this new shop is pretty good. The produce is fresh, the shop’s clean, the prices decent, and the employees, after shrieking their surprise that I can speak Chinese, are helpful.

When I made my usual stop today, though, one of the shopgirls suspiciously asked me if I’m French.

It really brought the political climate home for me.
