Wow, Wal-Mart is all heart.

Heh, thats how it is in Bremerton. Mcdonalds is in the same parking lot as the walmart with the mini Mickey D’s.

…If memory serves me correctly.

A buddy and I hang out in front of the Wal-Mart (every once in a while) laughing at the welfare mom’s, mullets, rednecks, and anyone else who walked past. Man we were bored… When walking through the parking lot, we’d always look at the firebirds and camaro’s and guess which redneck belonged to which car as they came out of the store. More often than not it would be an easy, correct, guess.
