Usually Walmart's very good about choosing what merch to put in their stores. In a world of millions of options, you can get the basics there and they will be decent. So I came across these Wrangler Outdoor style pants and decided to try them. Only problem is I can't get my hand in the front ...

Your picture is of the victim. This whack-job with the shirt over his head was the shooter. Not surprised. Don't think it was political. Probably got tired of constantly getting slapped around, couldn't take it anymore, and snapped.

Steak 'n Shake, today, 5:30 P.M., Delta Township, Michigan (west of Lansing). Not visible in photo: The stacks of beef tallow jars that they are selling near the counter. Less than stunningly popular. Burgers still okay, but won't touch the artery-clogging fries. Part of their problem? #FAFO

Now sure what this machine dispenses for $5. Encountered at Whole Foods, Okemos, Michigan. Not labeled. Appears to be sets of playing cards with unique artwork on each set. Interesting.

Wonder if they'll be moving to those easily updatable digital LCD digital price tags. Bet they wish they had already. They could have a robot crawl the store to update their prices nightly, vs. the current situation of needing people to place new printed paper tags. Tags like these:

One of the more useful ideas I came up with was to get a 15 foot bike lock cable and secure each end to one of the tie down points on each side of the bed. I can then lock my main luggage and / or cooler to the cable so it cannot be stolen without effort. The ends are secured to posts with locks.
