Ten-Ton Delivery to La Palma

The driver told me that the delivery was roughly 20,000 pounds of corn.  I did the finger thing, “two, zero, zero, zero, zero.”  ”Yes that is why I am so nervous”, he said.  I asked him how often he made the deliveries.  He replied, “This is my first.  But, we come here every two weeks”.  If I get the math right that is 10,000 pounds of golden corn per week.  Even if I missed the order of magnitude by a zero, it is still half a ton a week.  Judging from the truck I’m sticking with my original numbers.

Thank goodness for modern logistics because without the deliveries we’d be missing a bunch… I mean a bunch of the world’s greatest and freshest tamales.  I am pretty sure the masa finds it’s way to many restaurants and tiendas in the mission.  Bottom line, boys and girls, delicious fresh eats.  What a great place to live!

Yes, even the pigeons get a little treat.
