Trip to Walmart with Red yesterday. Can’t believe I spent $115. Well, the frozen chicken pot pie and shepherds pie from Massachusetts were $28 and we got an armload of sugary stuff, which is certainly not cheap, then personal care products, also probably pricy which is a conundrum since costs less there than elsewhere. Does it tell me , anything about inflation? Not really can neither of affirm nor deny government claims.
Red was popular as ever there. We went due to avoid cold windy weather, but stopped briefly at the park near sunset.
While loading our three bags in the car at the parking lot I smelled pot and thought, “Is my mind playing tricks on me? here too?” The car was in the handicap zone near the store’s door, and a crumpled-looking aging short woman with missing front teeth ambled towards us, smiling. She started chatting generally and I responded genially, then she got to a point: would you sign petition for marijuana referendum. “No. Something in the newspaper about it….” She tried to overcome my objections, but the one was, “ I don’t use it and I don’t care about it either way.”
Boy oh boy, what we get for salesman these days,, but she’s got good technique if she could get her appearance smartened up! Maybe Red could give her some pointers:)
