Yes. Alas, that corner was one I had to drive around to go see my dad. In
my mind I will always see that guy there. Even though he isn't now.

And after I posted all that stuff, I did a stupid thing yesterday. Went
shopping at Winco. Angela was going to come with me but at the last minute
she refused to go. You have to bag your own groceries here so she would
usually begin the bagging process then I would help her after I'd paid.

But since I was on my own, I decided to go bag some things up while the
cashier continued to ring stuff up. After I filled two bags, I went back
near the register where I was horrified to see that I had laid my wallet
there where one would write checks. Eek! I did the very thing that I
accused others of doing and yet I wasn't even aware that I had done it.
