You see a little bit of everything in Wal-Mart / Sam’s Club. It’s a window to the world.

Of course the world is going to hell, so it’s not often pleasant. But it sure can be entertaining.

I love to people watch, so I’m not very efficient in these places. Instead of getting what I need and leaving I sometimes tail and spy and try to come up with a plausible back-story for this one here….outfitted in pajama pants tucked into cowboy boots, with a cart piled high with Cheese Balls and garden tools and trailed by a kite’s tail of kids….or that one over there…..wearing a black trench coat with Bermuda shorts, bedroom slippers, and a “5 Finger Death Punch” t-shirt, wandering aisles while jabbering into a blue-tooth.
