Bumpers. Shortly after sending out the inaugural newsletter, I received an email from a friend of mine asking me what my plans were for Just One Dash (JOD). It was a great question. I have thought about that question a lot over the past few months. The answer that I have come up with is “Bumpers.”

On the first Saturday of each month, almost without fail, Ronnie would be the first person in line to wait outside Breakthrough’s Fresh Food Market. Neither snow or rain nor hot or cold weather would disrupt his schedule. Month after month, year after year, Ronnie would get there around 6:30 AM. The Market opened its doors at 10 AM. But Ronnie knew that the shelves would always be full if you were amongst the first ones in line.
