i grabbed a wire basket from a pile of wire baskets just inside the door and moved purposefully through the aisles to gather a few items that i imagined someone ( other than myself who dined exclusively on noodles with a roast chicken thrown in occasionally as a treat ) might find themselves in need of on a sunday afternoon in the late fall ( early winter ) : a six pack of beer , a large package of hamburger , a loaf of brown bread , mustard and a small package of diapers .
