Amusing

The atmosphere at the big department/food store was as if Armeggeddon was approaching in the next half hour. Shoppers bustled without talking, scurrying here and there, obviously on a mission, with no time to talk to anyone. I saw one essential item being carried out--a snow shovel. My cart contained only one helpful item for the snow storm--salt. Other items were bananas, brownies on sale for $1, ribs, deli meat, milk and hoagie buns. One lady pushed a cart with two cartons of soda pop. A mom and her son and daughter purchased a toy, perhaps to be given as a gift. Other than backing the cars in the driveway and purchasing salt, I did not buy kerosene propane or gallons of water. The ribs and potatoes are baking, and I am content.
