A Puff of Wind

This week's Walmart Tasting Feature is a banana flavored yogurt.   Not much more can be said.

Walmart was crawling with customers.  Wall-to-wall grocery shoppers.  I'm not sure how much longer Lowes grocery and the three Food Lions can stand the Walmart competition.  It was funny how the Lowes grocery guy said it was a slow day.  He blamed the lack of customers on the nice weather.  Apparently, the weather doesn't affect Walmart shoppers.

Notable among the Walmart "customers" was a short, stocky guy with a broad chest and short hair.  He is always at Walmart hanging out around Subway. We see him every week.   He doesn't work at Walmart or Subway, but he's always there.  He used to hang out at the BOOKSTORE, reading magazines.  Now he lives at Walmart, not shopping, just living.

Every week we run into Barbara Johnson at Lowes grocery.  No matter what time we go to Lowes, there's Barbara  She's usually at the bacon and bologna cooler.  Usually, but not always.  The Barbara we're speaking of is the Johnson of funeral home fame.

We also bumped into former County Commissioner David Isley at Lowes.  It's a good thing David is no longer a County Commissioner because a puff of wind or the air conditioning in the Commissioners chamber would almost certainly blow him down.  He was sad looking.  We didn't chat to find out how life is treating him because it would have probably been a tale of extreme woe and David is boring as hell anyway.  I'll never understand how the hell he got elected for eight years.  Even former City Manager Kelly Almond referred to him as a loser.  David once worked for the city of Reidsville and Kelly was his boss..
