Yesterday I went to Food Basics after work. When I went to check out, the guy behind me in line was quite obviously under the influence of drugs. He was acting like a child who had to go to the bathroom, jumping back and forth. I very much wanted to fix his pants as they were hanging so low that it was impeding his ability to walk. This didn't seem to bother him though and I didn't want to mess with the new fashion. I guess women sometimes wear shoes that impede their ability to walk properly as well. Slaves to fashion!
Sorry, I got distracted from the story. He was talking to me in line, just fine but when it came to check out his items he stared blankly at the cashier. She was probably in her late teens but she handled it well. She asked him if he wanted bags. He stared at her blankly. She put up her fingers and said and signed "1" or "2". He still didn't answer. She said one then and he nodded. She gave him two and packed them for him. (Normally in Food Basics you pack your own) He was buying hungry man dinners and ice cream. When he saw that she had packed them for him, he was very happy and grateful. I am glad that she treated him well as he seemed to be a nice guy deep down, just clouded with drugs.
Walking home at the intersection of University and Princess I saw a rat run into traffic in broad daylight. He didn't make it across the road before he realized the error of his way and turned back. He was BIG.
I took the day off today to take the car in to get the Winter tires taken off. I needed to buy new All-seasons as due to some misalignment the old ones had been ruined. The Winter ones are good for next winter still.
Tonight is the survivor finale! I am making brownies to sustain me through it.
