Rain Man was wrong....

KMart isn't the greatest.....but I'm sorry, Wal-Mart sucks. I call it "Brawl-Mart", since you either have to bully around 1) other shoppers, or 2) large carts of to-be-shelved merchandise, only to complete your three-mile journey to just pick up a gallon of milk and a quart of oil, finding yourself in a long, long line to check-out. 32 registers....five open. The others would be there for what reason??

In the matter of fairness, the trip to Wal-Mart today was better than normal, in that we had essentially no wait in line (and I saw something most people alive have not...a Wal-Mart cashier at her post WAITING for a customer to come into her line!) Still, I consider 80 minutes in Wal-Mart to be....about 78 minutes too long.

I love you, Target.

But if you MUST go to Wal-Mart, go to the one in Ashland, Va, just off I-95. We have one closer to our house, but that one is horrible so we travel a few minutes farther to Ashland. It's the best of a bad lot....

I didn't do my live draft (was still in bed) so I need to go check out what players are on my fantasy team at Yahoo!.
