1> Is Sue Grafton going to stop after she writes "Z"?
2> Do you remember as a teen, when you always *had* to look at the posters when you went to the store? When did we lose that? There were several in there today that I wouldn't mind owning.....
3> Now that I've bought a new TV, am I going to suffer from "TV price envy" if prices continue to drop?
4> What makes us choose which of the same brand of some item to pick when we take it off the shelf? (IE if there are 4 boxes of the same paper towels, which one do you grab?). It has to be in the same vein of science/mathematics as picking a urinal in the men's room. (You men understand what I mean... and the analogy only holds if all the urinals are unoccupied)
5> Just saw a mom walk by carrying her 3-4 year boy. He was wearing a bright-red cowboy hat made of felt, in the "Woody" style. Greatness!
6> There's a fine art to selecting bananas- getting just the right level of ripeness so that my boys do eat most of them but leave me enough at the end to make banana bread for Allison... :)
7> We are no longer a single-loaf-of-french-bread family. Just the way it is!
8> The last scene was the best. There was a young girl in the parking lot, putting the cart in the corral, and she was meticulously straightening and lining up the carts, as her bemused father sat in the their truck, grinning at me and urging his daughter to "come on, ...!". He was amused and yet wanted to go, but his smile told me one thing: this is a man who loves his daughter, and knows her personality. it was a great moment to end my "writer's trip" to Walmart: a wonderful little slice of this great and beautiful experiment that is the human race!
