Today it came as I walked to my office in downtown Ulaanbaatar. Crossing the street in front of me was a woman holding a plastic sack. The sack was an honest-to-goodness plastic sack from Hy-Vee. I realize how nerdy this is, but I stopped on the sidewalk to savor the moment. In Mongolia, I'm experiencing the first bit of Hy-Vee I've had in almost eight months. I should say here that I really really love Hy-Vee, and its importance in my youth and development through the years cannot be overstated.
There it is. More proof that it's a small world after all.

There's a Kum and Go in Washington!!!! Obviously, not as far away as Mongolia. But still a funny export.
Did you ask her where the bag came from?
I didn't, but really wish I would have. I think I was too stunned and flooded with a lifetime of HyVee memories. Do the locals in Washington think that Kum and Go is an absurd name like most non-Iowans?
