Are these quotation marks or just… graphical exuberance?

Monday doubleshot!

Seriously, peeps, this one’s better than espresso. Before I begin, let me just state that I am proud of this fine grocery establishment for attempting to encourage its customers to go green.  Even if the point is also to sell cloth bags.  That said… First we have the sign as a whole: So, let’s see.  …read more.

From Jessica:  “I’m glad to have been wished a good morning . . . that is, if I am who I say I am!” It’s also worth noting that Jessica signed her submission e-mail thusly: “Jessica” This is either a calculated attempt to drive me nuts, or a subtle hint that Jessica has been replaced …read more.
