The Dollar Store
April 15-- As you know, it snowed on Sunday as part of St.Louis Weekend Weather Crapfest. I mentioned that if it did snow I was going to throw myself in front of a soccer mom's minivan. To keep my promise I did, but I'll admit that the van was parked.
On Saturday as it continued to rain non-stop, I decided to buy a new umbrella. I lose umbrellas more than the Rams lost football games last season, so I decide to buy the cheapest one I could find.
I had never been to a "Dollar Store" before, but I figured that it would be a prime spot for the cheapest umbrella on the planet.
The Dollar Store makes my neighbor's monthly garage sale look like Sacks Fifth Avenue.
I haven't seen so much worthless trash in one place since I cleaned out the trunk of my Mazda. And, here is the BEST part-- The Dollar Store has SECURITY CAMERAS!
I scanned the racks of turkey basters, potpourri balls, tiny Mexican senorita figurine salt shakers, and cellophane shower curtains, and they were all under constant surveillance by high priced security cameras!
It would be like having a security camera for your cat's litter box.
The only think I could think of was that if you were a thief willing to risk jail time for stealing from The Dollar Store you didn't have very high standards as a shoplifter.
As it turns out, The Dollar Store didn't have any umbrellas. But, they did have ice scrapers that were made in Haiti.
Those turned out to be useful on Sunday.
Until Next Time. I Hope You Survive Another Day In The Gray.

Todd, I agree with you about the winters in St. Louis. I know you are familiar with the word exponential. Indianapolis winters equal St. Louis winters exponentially. My big question is are you talking about the garage sales I used to have? We move and in less than a year you are using my garage sales as comedy on your website. That is gray!
