The Saddest Bag of Groceries Ever

The purchases of the person ahead of me in the express check-out lane just now:


Full shopping list:

One Banquet frozen microwave dinner (single-serving size)

One can of frozen concentrated lemonade

One big stinkin' bottle of Popov vodka
There but for the grace of my wife...

And you know what, Wes? You will be paying this person's health care costs and that is fair.BTW, I always want to photgraph like that for my site but never get the nerve to do it!

Sadly, I think health care costs may be the least of this poor woman's problems...

My own nerves kept waiting for someone to notice I was taking that picture. The woman was no more than two feet in front of me, and two other shoppers were right behind me. And I just kept pretending that I was having trouble reading a text message on my cell phone until I got it.

(My own shopping list that trip was three Del Monte "Fruit Naturals"!)

Probably has to choose between medicine and food, or is it medicine and rent. Ever notice how it's never medicine and cable TV or medicine and the cell phone.
