Batteries

I needed one of those small little flat batteries that fit into my travel clock. I could not find them in the grocery store, but did find them at this wee, teeny shop, very near my apartment. It is on a corner, carved out of the recess where two stores come together at an intersection. This fellow had every shape, size and description of small battery imginable, besides the normal batteries like AA, or AAA. He also had the tools and exertise to put the batteries into your watch, travel clock, or whatever required. Best of all, he spoke French, so we could communicate. What a find! He folds the sides into the recess at the end of his work day and locks things up. When you pass by all you see is a padlock on a shiny , silver metal cupboard.
