Green Store, Hermosa Beach
"I look like a hippopotamus," June signed.
"No you don't," Kate reassured her.
June Baker
leaned on her roommate Kate Walters and limped into The Green Grocery Store.
“Late start this
morning?” the clerk asked. The girls were regular customers. Every morning they
walked from Hermosa Beach to the Manhattan Beach Pier and back. June was
determined to have a healthy baby and keep her figure. She was very sensitive
about her weight. The baby wasn’t due
until October but she looked like she was ready to give birth to triplets at
any moment.
“Do you have
peroxide?” Kate asked. June had stepped on a seaweed air bladder to hear it pop
and something on it must have irritated her foot. They guess that maybe it was some chemical from the recent oil spill.
June was one of those people
who couldn’t resist snapping bubble wrap. She also enjoyed popping seaweed air
bladders on her morning walks. There wasn’t an actual cut but her toes were
sore and red, so June was going to soak them in peroxide just to be safe.
