Gone Shoppin'

LATER: Yoo hoo! Anybody out there wanna finish unloading the car for me?

Same traffic here as always and the same number of people in Sam's and the other stores I went to.

I didn't stop today but drove by the convenience store that's owned and operated by a family of immigrants. It was open for business as usual, just as I knew it would be. They've worked danged hard from way back (since who the heck knows) and even harder since they opened their own place.

English-speaking -- except for one OLDER uncle who's only mastered phrases so they keep him working in the stock room -- Americans they've all become as will family members they're slowly bringing over as they can, citizenship and all.

When you're in Zeke's store, you'd better not say anything bad about the United States. If he's busy, someone else will toss your butt out the door.
