Oh, I've walked picket lines. The thing is, the picket lines outside
Shaws/Star Market are not physical. Any picket lines involving people
with signs are at the warehouse, where the striking workers worked. I

keep reminding myself, because it was almost automatic -- heading up
there after work on Thursday or Friday. *sigh*
