Wal-Mart Observations

Good news or bad news first? Really? Good it is!

Uplifting: When I was leaving with my purchases, I saw a young father, with four kids, four kids!, all elementary school age or younger, gather up his bags and admonish his children, now, all of you, hold hands! Gotta hold hands in the parking lot to be safe, hold your brother's hand! And they did. One little girl broke rank a few feet from the door and her brother reminded her that they must hold hands. She laughed and complied. It was pretty darn adorable.

Mildly Depressing: They're remodeling! Spiffing things up with new signs and new shelving and other display hardware. It's just that when they're done...it will still be Wal-Mart. Sigh.
