At the corner store, a Shopper’s Drug Mart–all of two minutes away from my house. It’s drudge work at the front cash for eight hours a day, but hey–it’s a paycheque. 😉 I can go to school next year! _glee_ ---

Announcing, “ **PRICECHECK ON TRIAL SIZED BOX OF RIBBED AND LUBRICATED CONDOMS!!!** ” over the store intercome to embarass the cute shy young kid at the checkout counter… Priceless! 😃 ---

Hwy, I know that store! My Quasi-Daughter lives up near there! Maybe I should wander around the store shouting “Kyth… um, Kyther… oh, heck, I don’t know how to pronounce that!” You’ll be right near the Pusateri’s, won’t you? You can push rich snotty women into traffic! Not that I condone pushing even Pusateri’s patrons into traffic. Really. ---
