Your line about waiting for the Universe to punish you over shopping for Tofu and Miso strikes hard.<br />As much as I try to escape my WalMart roots, it's hard not to feel wasteful when I can buy it non-organically for 30% less and save gas by buying underwear in the same stop.<br />Even though they have them all over, for some reason I always associate WalMart with Midwest flat lands.Melissa Hickshttp://triumphantmel.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27052946.post-80625832930631051102010-04-12T20:53:41.660-07:002010-04-12T20:53:41.660-07:00Kudos from the Barton Clan.

Aunt Evelyn lived there in a little old, almost-falling-down house, as I recall, and our cousin Janet and her kids were there, too. Aunt Evelyn had caught a mess of fish and we were going to have a fish fry.<br />While they were busy cleaning fish, Sandy and I were sent across the way to a one-room store that backed up to a stagnant creek. Evelyn wanted us to pick up some milk for supper.<br />The store itself felt stagnant. Good thing I hadn't seen "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" at the time, 'cause the place was dead. A large lady, draped loosely in a nightgown with huge armholes, came out of a back room and pulled some milk out of a cooler. She complained about the hot weather and how sweaty she was, while she proceeded to tear open the carton and insert her large, hairy nose inside.<br />"It don't stink too bad," she said (or something along those lines, causing us to wonder if the opposite were true, and to wish that she'd just hand over the milk, spoiled or not). <br />We bought the milk and skedaddled out of there, and I remember feeling rather traumatized by the experience. I didn't drink the milk, and neither did Sandy.<br />So maybe she is now reenacting that scenario, with herself now acting as the powerful arbiter of rotten-ness. It's a thought.Noodlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11274274551059640467noreply@blogger.com
