While you're out.

  " Can you pick up a few things at the market?"  Why heck yeah,  you can ! The modern grocery store puts the Persian Bazaar to shame. What they don't sell , you don't need. Even your local quick stop. Wow.
   Years ago I went to a drive through , all night convenience store in rural Louisiana and I swear, they not only sold hard liquor by pints and quarts but also cocktails to go and,  get this , guns and ammo.That's what I call convenience.
  The other week the wife says, "There's a list on the table."  I'm in the local  megamart picking up bread , eggs, milk, cream of tartar , mouse traps and condoms.
  As the mouse traps and the condoms slide by on the conveyor I detect the ever so slight "clerk smirk". I say to the kid,  " If one don't work, the other most definitely will."  I had to laugh.
