Random thoughts.

I wonder if there's another place besides Texas where they name their sons Judge or Noble? I remember one woman mentioning (often) her friendship with a prominent local guy called Judge Fife(?), and it took me months before I figured out the guy had nothing to do with the law.

I saw a guy today in Wal Mart. 20-something. Goth look, dressed all in black, black spiky hair. Long sideburns. Earring. Biker boots. Leather. And comfortably holding a sleeping infant against his shoulder. I mean, that's just wrong. Except in Texas, apparently!

This really was a day of mini-disasters for me. And I only went grocery shopping at Wal Mart. But...
* Couldn't find a handicapped spot.
* Wanted a new toaster. Found one I liked. The computer at the cash register refused to sell it to me.
* I wanted 8 chicken fingers dinners. I got 6, plus 2 fish stick dinners. They look very similar, and someone had apparently stuck them in with the chicken. Have I ever mentioned that I hate fish?
* The bag of dog food broke as I pulled it out of the cart and spilled dog food all over the ground and in my trunk.
* I got a handy new teapot for Christmas and wanted tea for it. Forgot it.
* I wrote the check for $5 over, to give my roomie cash to pick up my prescription next week. The woman forgot to give it to me, and I didn't notice.
* With the rack for shopping carts only about 8 feet away, someone put their cart right behind my car.
